Leisure for Adult Students

Sprachcaffe Languages Plus works with a highly respected and specialist tour company for international students which provides excursions for international students to destinations all over the UK and Europe. For example, students can book a day’s sightseeing in London, a Harry Potter tour, a weekend in Paris, a Beatles themed tour of Liverpool or a day in Cambridge. Our school receptionist can help book the tour with you. The tours include transport and an English speaking tour guide. As they are specifically designed for students of English, students can either travel alone or form groups with other students from school to travel with.

One of the most attractive aspects of Brighton is the huge number of available activities. Students have the opportunity to enjoy a real taste of Brighton by immersing themselves in its culture. The city is home to countless entertainment venues. For example: around 300 pubs, many of which offer live music and comedy and the Theatre Royal which shows West End productions,in addition to the famous Brighton Nightlife, which brings not only locals, but entertainment seekers from London and the whole of East Sussex.

Brighton also hosts an extensive array of festivals and events each year: in spring there is the Brighton Festival (the biggest arts festival in the UK), Sussex Beer and Cider festival and the Brighton festival of Japan. In summer there is Paddle Round the Pier, Brighton Pride and the 'Soundwaves' festival. In autumn you can enjoy the Food and Drink festival, Brighton Comedy Festival and the White Nights Celebration. Through the winter we have the CINECITY Film Festival and the Burning of the Clocks celebration. A list of the month’s top activities (including these festivals and the events within them) is always listed on our notice board each week so that students are fully informed of what is on offer in the vibrant city.
