Social programme
At Eastbourne School of English, we offer you the chance to combine English language courses and Teacher Training courses with activities and half-day excursions. Throughout the year, full-day excursions at weekends are available and from time to time, you can even book long-weekend excursions to, for example, Scotland, Ireland, Amsterdam or Paris.
Examples of social activities:
- boat trip to Beachy Head
- mini-golf on Eastbourne seafront
- swimming at the Sovereign Centre
- cinema
- tennis, football and volleyball
- ten-pin bowling at Lloyds Lanes
(Included in the cost of the Summer Plus course on Monday and Friday afternoons, otherwise charged at cost.)
Examples of half-day excursions:
- Brighton for shopping and a tour of the picturesque Lanes area
- Hastings to see the Castle and the Smugglers' Caves
- Beachy Head and Pevensey Castle, built in Roman times
- Bodiam Castle and Battle, site of the Battle of Hastings
(Included in the cost of the Summer Plus on Wednesday afternoons, otherwise charged at cost)
Examples of full-day excursions:
We offer excursions to London, Cambridge, Oxford, Bath and Canterbury as well as many other well-known cities. Country houses, gardens, castles and monuments are also on our excursions programme so there is something for everyone.
The cost of full-day and weekend excursions varies but we try to keep it as low as possible.
Evening events at school are free. Outside events are charged at cost.
