Activities
We work with you to arrange the perfect selection of trips to inspire and motivate your KS2 group. Theme your visit to tie in with a particular subject area or choose a destination for cross-curricular enrichment. We provide advice on timings and entrance fees and look after all the details to ensure your trip runs as smoothly as possible.
To complement your excursion programme, PGL’s unmissable adventure activities and a busy programme of evening entertainment add that little bit extra that makes all the difference.
