About this school trip

Dublin is an ideal destination for a study trip centred on English. Your students use the language all day long, from a city task along the Liffey to a conversation in a shop or café. For literature the city is a treasure trove: at Trinity College they see the Book of Kells, the famous medieval manuscript, and the impressive Old Library. The library is currently being renovated, so the visit takes an adapted form.

At EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum, in the vaults of the CHQ Building in the Docklands, students discover in interactive galleries why millions of Irish people left their country and what influence they had around the world. This ties in nicely with lessons on European history, migration and identity.

We would be delighted to take care of transport for you and your students to Dublin. We reach Ireland by ferry, for example with a direct crossing from France to Rosslare, or via Great Britain using the Channel Tunnel or a ferry, followed by a crossing of the Irish Sea. If you travel via Great Britain, every traveller needs a passport and you should check whether a UK ETA or visa is required. In our comfortable coach with an experienced driver your group travels safely and in comfort.
