Famous for its traditional food and drink, it’s no surprise that Dublin is such a popular destination for food technology school trips!
Of course, you can’t visit Dublin without taking a tour of one of the city’s most famous tourist attractions – the Guinness Storehouse. You’ll also have the opportunity to learn the secrets of a working chocolate factory and learn how to cook a three-course meal at Dublin Cookery School.
And a food technology school trip to Dublin wouldn’t be complete without experiencing an evening of food and folklore at Dublin’s oldest pub! You’ll be served a traditional Irish meal while listening to traditional Irish music and hearing some enchanting folk tales.

Thank you for everything. After many years of doing Spanish homestays with other providers, this was by far the smoothest visit we have done. Everything was perfect and the pupils really enjoyed their stay. Halsbury and ISLA were both brilliant.— Forest School
