Seven years – nine wonderful trips!
Since the covid pandemic and the rise in the cost of living it has become impossible to find appropriate accommodation in London. We previously used the Hotel Meininger at Hyde Park and the YHA Thameside, however, both have closed due to financial difficulties. This factor, combined with the very high cost of transport (Eurotunnel tickets have more than doubled for groups), means that no trips will be planned for the near future. A trip to Dublin will take place in April 2024 as an alternative destination.
Etoile Education are again organising 2 new trips to London in October …
The dates for the trips are :
The highlight of both trips will be a visit to a theatre in London’s West End to see an evening performance of “Everybody’s Talking About Jamie” (12 years +) and a matinee performance of “Mary Poppins” (9-11 years) (bookings to be confirmed).
Both trips will include visits to at least two renowned museums – the Imperial War Museum and the Tate Modern for the older group and the British Museum and the Science Museum for the younger group.
The 12 years + will also get to walk around the Westminster – Buckingham Palace area of London and spend their first evening bowling at the Hollywood Bowl in Surrey Quays. Both groups will have time to squeeze in a film at the cinema.
There will also be shopping opportunities at the Harry Potter shop on Platform 9 3/4 and FOYLES bookshop for the younger group, whilst the older group will have shopping time at the Westfield Stratford Shopping Centre (bookshops, fashion boutiques, sports shops, Starbucks…)
The Thameside YHA will provide a comfortable resting place, with well-equipped bedrooms, en-suite bathrooms and restaurant facilities.
There are 16 places for the 11 yrs+ trip: cost 600 euros
and 14 places for the 9 – 11 yrs trip : cost 550 euros
Places are reserved according to availability
