Penzance: Host Family Centre for Educational Visits by Schools
Penzance is the romantic last stop on the train from London to Cornwall.
It is one of Cornwall’s most attractive seaside towns and the second most southerly town of the UK mainland. The town’s location gives it a temperate climate that makes it warmer than most of the rest of Britain. From the port visitors are able to see the magical island of St Michael’s Mount.It is an unrivalled centre for exploring West Cornwall’s cultural highlights.
Our host families are personally selected by our experienced Falmouth Centre Director, who looks after the groups whilst they are staying in the city.
Families provide full board accommodation for students in two, three or four students per family. Families look after the students every evening.
Educational Visits may be planned and booked by the visiting school group or by Sul.
We are able to provide a guide or escort for the visits if requested.
There is also the option formal English lessons which link the language to the educational visits, enhancing the value of the trip for all school classes.
