History School Trips and Battlefields Tours

History is one of our most popular subject offerings and we have a great network of excursions and visits in France, Belgium and Poland to support the curriculum on World War One, World War Two, the Holocaust and European history. 

A trip to any city in Europe is guaranteed to be filled with an abundance of history. With the many landmarks standing in memory and portrayal of the wars that have occurred in the past, and the additional array of museums, the majority of locations in Europe make ideal educational trips for history students. Depending on your requirements and the key stage of your group, our expert team will create a bespoke history trip with fully audited school-friendly accommodation, recommended guides and transport options.

Battlefields Trips to Belgium & the French Western Fronts

Teach your students about life on the frontline in World War One with a history trip to the Somme or Ypres. Stay at a recommended Menin Gate Group accommodation centre in Ypres or base yourself at our own residential centre in Northern France, Hotel Moulin aux Draps, which is well located for visiting both the French memorials at Vimy Ridge and Thiepval, and the battlefields of Flanders and Passcendaele in Belgium. 

For a truly immersive battlefields trip, we recommend our WW1 Experience Tour which includes free history learning resources and guided activities with our local French team. Based at our own residential centre in Northern France, the trip includes evening entertainment and the chance to make a handmade wreath for your group to lay as part of the moving Last Post Ceremony at Menin Gate.

D-Day Landing Beaches

Bring your students to explore the historic landing beaches first-hand for a greater insight into the monumental events that took place on D-Day in 1944. Normandy has a great selection of historic sites and as Normandy specialists, we have a great network of school accommodations, including our own residential centres in Lower Normandy. Our local experts will create a memorable itinerary where your learners can learn first-hand about Operation Overlord, the Allied invasion of Normandy, one of the most pivotal moments of World War II.
