EDUCATIONAL RESIDENTIAL TRIPS

The team that bring you Day Trips, also organise a residential trip of between 3 to 5 days duration, by coach probably once per year., most likely to be in August or September.

For this September 2026 we have organised a longer trip of 4 days (3 nights) , which previous trippers suggested, to be based in Llandudno.

In September 2025 we enjoyed a 3 day trip (2 night) to Yorkshire. On the first day we visited Helmsley, a picturesque market town, wandering the charming streets, or visiting the castle. Day 2 was on the North York Moors railway, travelling from Pickering to Whitby, with time to explore the Whitby Abbey, stroll along the beach and enjoy fresh seafood. On day 3 the morning was spent exploring the city of York, with its’ magnificent cathedral, and leaving early afternoon for the journey home.

In August 2024 we enjoyed a 3 day (2 night) trip, based in Swindon, which started with a visit to Windsor Castle on the first day, the second day explored Bristol, visiting the dockyards, followed by a cruise on the River Wye on the final day.

Before the pandemic we had trips to:

Kingston upon Hull, Cardiff, Liverpool, Edinburgh and Portsmouth/Southsea.
