What's included, and what costs extra
Most of our activity programme is included in your course price — beach sports, bingo, quiz nights, karaoke, film afternoons and games-room tournaments.
A small number of off-site evening activities carry an extra charge, because we pay the venue per student. These are always optional, and the cost is published on the weekly activity programme before you sign up:
Disco
Ten-pin bowling*
Mini golf*
Laser Quest
*Occasionally included during summer season.
Full-day weekend excursions are also charged separately unless your course includes them. Ask us for the current prices — there are never any surprises.
Please note: once an activity or excursion has been paid for, no refunds are issued for missed or cancelled bookings — unless the activity or excursion does not run for reasons outside our control.

Why it matters
Activities are English lessons in disguise
Every excursion, match and quiz night happens in English with friends from 40+ countries. It's the practice that doesn't feel like practice — and it's why our students' speaking improves so fast.
"An amazing experience. The staff were always kind, helpful and professional. I learned a lot, improved my English, and always felt comfortable in class."
★★★★★
"What makes an experience unforgettable is that special moment when you realise a new place feels like home. That's what I felt right here — like I'm in a large family, with a multicultural atmosphere."
★★★★★
"I stayed here for about eight months and had a really good time. The teachers are perfect and the school staff are very kind. Also, my host family was absolutely amazing — I've got a lot of unforgettable memories with them."
