Meet friends, have fun and keep speaking English after class

The social programme is a weekly offering of activities which complement your English language lessons.

A social activity gives you an opportunity to meet new friends and discover everything Eastbourne and the UK has to offer, and it’s a great way to extend and practise your English. Some activities are free of charge, some are with a group leader whilst others are suggestions for you to do with friends or on your own, some have a fee which depends on the duration, the distance and the cost of the activity itself.

When you arrive at the school in Eastbourne on your first day, we’ll explain how activities work, and what you have to do to sign up (reserve a place) on the activities, trips and excursions that you’re interested in.

Once you’re in school, we can also help you to plan other things you might like to do independently.
