York as your classroom
Seminars typically run from 9 am - 2 pm with time in the afternoon for exploring York. All programmes include at least one cultural enhancement activity, such as:
Theatre experience: A favourite! York is well served by theatres and frequent touring productions from London. Performances are introduced by our experienced staff to provide context and to foster engagement with the arts.
School visit: Highly recommended! Spend a morning or afternoon observing the English Education system with a visit to a local Primary or Secondary school.
Guided tours: Deepen your understanding of York’s history and modern identity as a capital of the north with guided tours of the city, including Roman and Viking ruins. The tour also includes a walk on a portion of the city’s Roman walls and a visit to the Shambles where groups will see the street that inspired Harry Potter’s “Diagon Alley”!
York Minster: Visit Europe’s largest gothic cathedral North of the Alps and learn about its 800-year history from knowledgeable and engaging guides.
