English Literature trips to London, Stratford, Edinburgh and Dublin
The plays of Shakespeare have an unrivalled place in the English-speaking world. On our English Literature tour to Stratford you can spend a day at the RSC, attend a performance and take time to explore the town where the Great Bard was born.
Whether you travel with us to Stratford, London, Ireland or Scotland, in addition to play performances, your students will have the opportunity to take a variety of excursions and tours around these places of special literary importance.
In Stratford upon Avon, students can take the Jane Austen Tour at Stoneleigh Abbey. A stately home, about 30 minutes from the town, the Abbey was owned by relatives of Austen and was supposedly the inspiration for Mansfield Park.
While in London students can enjoy a wide variety of workshops at the National Theatre (NT) , which explore some of the key roles involved in making theatre at the NT and are designed to support the study of Drama, Theatre Studies and English at Key Stage 3, Key Stage 4 and Post-16. A popular workshop for English students is ‘Exploring Text’ in which students investigate how directors at the NT begin to explore a text with actors and the creative team in the rehearsal room and bring it to life on stage. Students get the chance to start thinking like a director, analysing a play and making decisions about how they would interpret and direct it.

Once your student travel tour is booked, it is safely in our hands. We will only ask for you assistance in understanding your specific requirements and you will be responsible for ensuring that the dates on our checklist are adhered to. During the process, we will also ask you to provide accurate student and teacher name, passport and dietary requirement details where appropriate.
You should book your tour between 8-18 months in advance. This will give us time to secure the best possible accommodation and excursion programme for your tour and you will have ample time for fundraising should you need to do so.
We agree a three-stage process so that payments can be staggered to make it easier for parents.
