Looking for a short food technology trip abroad filled with interesting and educational activities? Then choose Bruges and Boulogne!

We recommend that you start your food technology school trip to Bruges & Boulogne with a visit to the beautiful Belgian city. In Bruges you can visit a sweet factory for a demonstration on how sweets are made and learn about the history of chocolate at Choco-Story. You can also visit the Friet Museum – the first and only museum in the world dedicated to potato fries.

One of our most popular activities in Boulogne is a ‘hands-on’ pancake-making demonstration with the chance to sample what you’ve made. And on your way back to Calais, you can visit a traditional French boulangerie, where you’ll get to taste some freshly baked bread.

Giving students an opportunity to experience and learn from other cultures is something that I feel is invaluable in shaping their future. Barcelona is one of my favorite cities to visit as it has everything; culture, history, good food and the beach! – Paul Hudson Tour Consultant

Don't take our word for it …

The trip was well organised, friendly and professional. Halsbury always returned calls and followed up on queries promptly. The coach was really clean and comfortable, and the drivers were very helpful. The students especially loved the bakery and the aquarium. — Manningtree High School , September 2019
