Bonfire & Wintersports Festival

Bonfire and Wintersports Festival at the Moulin aux Draps

As the nights draw in, bring your students to the magical Moulin Aux Draps centre in France for a seasonal autumn programme of exciting activities and games.

Following a full day's ski, picture twinkling lights, delicious hot chocolate and toasting marshmallows over the fire in our autumn Bonfire & Wintersports Festival at the Moulin.

Students will take part in a range of engaging seasonal activities including a real snow ski day, glow in the dark games, cosy evening quiz in slippers and onesies and hearty dinners after busy days.

Crammed full of one-off treats and great value extras, these seasonal school trips will create unforgettable memories as well as providing a range of learning benefits for students of all ages.  This winter programme is a great opportunity for your new year group to bond, provide a confidence-boosting school trip abroad or include language learning too  - your native animateur can lead the activities in French.  

You will benefit from all the advantages of off-peak travel with this easily accessible, yet exciting and fun-packed school trip to France.

As the nights draw in, our Moulin aux Draps centre is transformed into a winter wonderland, adorned with twinkling lights, log fires, hot chocolate and warming comfort food, to play host to our specially-themed winter festivals, available from October to February only. 

Located less than an hour from Calais, our Moulin aux Draps residential centre is the perfect destination for schools looking for a short and affordable French trip. Our cosy centre is contained within 22 acres of car-free French countryside with plenty of indoor and outdoor space for our seasonal festivities. Our local French team has considerable experience in looking after British school groups and after a day on the slopes, teachers can relax with a vin chaud as our animateurs deliver a programme of entertainment for students.
