About this school trip

Bristol is a creative port city that suits a study trip on sustainability, maritime history and the creative industries. At M Shed, the museum of the city's history housed in a 1950s dockside transit shed, your students discover how the harbour helped Bristol to grow. About a ten-minute walk along the quayside lies the SS Great Britain, designed by the engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel and built in the dry dock where the ship still sits today.

Bristol is also famous for its street art. On a street art trail students see work by Banksy, among others, such as Well Hung Lover on Park Street and The Girl with the Pierced Eardrum by the harbour. The regenerated Harbourside shows how an old dock area can be given a new purpose: an excellent starting point for assignments on sustainable urban development for upper secondary and vocational students.

We are happy to take care of the transport to Bristol for you and your students. After the crossing by ferry or through the Channel Tunnel there is a long drive through England, which we spread over the day with rest breaks. In our comfortable coach with an experienced driver your group travels there and back safely. Please note: every traveller needs a valid passport. Also check in good time whether a UK ETA or a visa is required.
