Excursions

Excursions around UK & Europe

While you are here, you should take the opportunity to travel around and see some of the sights of the UK, some famous European cities, or take in a West End show. You can book all of these through the school, at no extra cost, either in person while you are here, or by email before you arrive.

The trips are organised by our partners, who offer short trips and excursions to destinations around the UK and in mainland Europe. The trips are very reasonably priced and popular with all our students.

Please be aware that you may require a Schengen visa to travel outside of the UK.

Our travel partners offer a variety of full day excursions at weekends throughout the year. These excursions can be booked and paid for when you are at Interactive English. Excursions cost between £25 and £40 approximately. All trips take place at weekends, although some longer ones start on Friday, so that you miss as few lessons as possible.
