East Midlands School Trip Ideas

School trips in my area


Channel your inner Bushcraft skills with a spot of archey or wild cooking in Boughton Woods with The Bushcraft Company, or for a spot of adventure, Walesby Forest near Newark is a fantastic place for school Team Building and Watersports. For history topics, spend a day learning what it was like to live in Roman or Viking Britain by visiting with Mount Cook in Matlock, or visit English Heritage's Gainsborough Old Hall and its Jacobean Great Hall and Medieval kitchens.

Discover some exciting and unique school trip destinations in the East Midlands. From a historical perspective: find out more about life in the Stone Age, or for people of the Iron Age Corieltauvi tribe who lived in the area before the Romans; about King Richard III and his final resting place beneath a car park in Leicester; visit the site of the Battle of Bosworth Field; study the roots of the Industrial Revolution that help shape the East Midlands into the place it is today; or discover the history of a Victorian Water Pumping Station. East Midlands School trip options are many and varied.
