Study Tours

Our 2026 Study Tours programme features new destinations and returning favourites, and continues to offer exceptional scholarship, sociability and small group teaching.

Study Tour fees include:

Expert guidance and tuition by our course leaders.

  • All relevant entry fees to museums, galleries and historic sites.
  • Travel by public transport or coach between sites (where relevant, during tours with more than
    one main destination).
  • Some tours also include sessions in a classroom on site, or the provision of a pre-recorded lecture.
  • Extensive pre-course reading materials on the VLE.

Travel to and from the primary destination of the tour, meals, and accommodation are not included in the course fee; participants are free to make their own arrangements.

All Study Tours include a good deal of walking and require a reasonable degree of physical fitness and mobility.
