Why not extend your battlefields trip to a 2-4 day tour so that you have more time to enjoy some fun and exciting visits? There's more to our battlefields tours than gaining a deeper understanding of the impact of WWI. We can include a variety of alternative and fun experiences to provide opportunities for cultural immersion, student bonding, and a change of pace from the more poignant elements of your tour. Take a look at below for inspiration, or contact us for more ideas - we're happy to offer suggestions for your group!
We recommend visiting a local chocolate shop during your trip in Ypres. This experience is always a firm favourite among our groups, giving your students the chance to browse the delicious chocolate available, and pick up some sweet treats for their family back home (and of course, for themselves too!)

At Anglia we care about our customers, our staff, the places we visit, the stories we tell and the organisations we work with. These key principles define who we are and what we do. We believe they are also the reason why Anglia is the market leader in fully-guided history trips for UK schools. We work with you to design a bespoke tour which meets the specific needs of your school and which supports what you are teaching in class. We start by asking what you want your students to see and what you want them to experience then build the tour around these requirements. A tour which, as the testimonials on our website show, your students will find thought-provoking, engaging and enjoyable.
