Y8 London trip 2026

Our Year 8 London residential will take place from Monday 19th to Wednesday 21st October 2026.

Students should meet staff at 9.15am on Monday 19th October at Manchester Piccadilly Train Station, outside the shop area to the right of the main entrance. Our train is due to depart at 9.45am. It is extremely important that students arrive on time, as we need sufficient time to register the group, organise luggage and move everyone safely to the platform. We are unable to delay the train or wait for students who arrive late.

On Wednesday 21st October, our return train is scheduled to arrive at Manchester Piccadilly at 4.05pm. Students should be collected from the same meeting point area. Parents will be informed of any significant delays to the return journey.

During the three days, students will enjoy a wide range of activities, staying for two nights at YHA London Thameside.
