About this school trip

We would be delighted to take care of transport for you and your pupils to the Passchendaele Museum in Zonnebeke and Tyne Cot Cemetery. Set in the grounds of Zonnebeke Castle, the museum tells the story of the First World War and the Battle of Passchendaele through an interactive display. Its motto: experience, reflect, remember.

Pupils descend into a reconstructed dugout and walk through replica British and German trenches. From there it is a short walk to Tyne Cot Cemetery, the largest Commonwealth war cemetery in the world, which has a free visitor centre. A guided tour is optional but recommended by the museum, and there are educational workshops for all ages.

This is a moving day that gives pupils plenty to think about, so do allow time afterwards to talk it through together. ITS-Reizen takes your class to the Westhoek region of Flanders and back in a comfortable, safe coach, so that you and your pupils can give your full attention to remembrance and history.
