Social Activities

We want our students to work hard, but also to play hard!

During your time with us, we want you to have a great experience in Leeds and the surrounding area.

We have a great and varied programme offering events and trips to please everyone’s interests and budgets. Prices range from £5.00 to £50 depending on the activity but there are also free trips and lots of free activities available throughout the year. Please look on the upcoming events to give you an idea of how much particular trips cost.

Our Social Activities page is full of ideas to get you out and about, speaking, listening and learning with other students and local people.

Some of our favourite places to visit:

  • York :- See the largest Gothic cathedral in Europe and walk the cobbled streets!
  • Knaresborough :- Visit the famous caves and take a boat ride under the stunning railway bridge!
  • Scarborough :- Take a trip to the English seaside for fish and chips on the beach and visit a castle built 3000 years ago!
  • Liverpool :- Learn about the Titanic at the Maritime Museum and see where The Beatles used to play concerts!
  • Ilkley :- Walk the ancient moors for beautiful views of the Yorkshire countryside!
  • Bolton Abbey :- Visit the ruins of a 12th-century monastery located alongside the River Wharfe and have a go at crossing the river using its famous stepping stones!

Love where you live!

We want you to love our city as much as we do!

Local activities include a trip to the Royal Armouries Museum combined with a ride on the water taxi, a visit to the Leeds German Christmas Market, a fish and chips night at the local pub, and more!

Having a happy, relaxed mind helps you reach your potential. This is why offering fun and interesting activities is a top priority at Leeds English Language School.
