Fifty Plus

Fifty Plus students Fifty Plus Social Programme

Eastbourne School of English has been running the Fifty Plus programme for over 20 years. Many students return year after year to improve their English, enjoy the beautiful Sussex countryside and meet up with old friends.

Social activities and excursions are accompanied by our own teachers. We visit historic towns and cities, castles, parks and gardens, villages and the spectacular Sussex and Kent countryside. We also include the chance to play traditional English games such as bowls and croquet.
