School Fashion Trip to Barcelona and Costa Brava
Cosmopolitan and bohemian, Barcelona is a fantastic destination for your fashion school trip!
Visit design schools and fashion outlets or take a workshop and learn the skill of a professional make-up artist, all while taking in the many beautiful sights the city has to offer.
Many groups stay at one of the nearby coastal resorts, such as Calella, Lloret de Mar, Blanes and Tossa de Mar. While staying here, why not spend a day out at Port Aventura or Waterworld? You may also like to consider joining forces with another department at school, to turn this into a cross-curricular school trip. Barcelona offers options for a number of subjects, including business studies, art, geography, food technology and Spanish.

We had a great trip to Nice as always. Thank you to Laura for her amazing help and seemingly being always available at the end of an email! The language school is brilliant – well-planned, interesting lessons. The trips work well in the afternoons. We went to Antibes for the afternoon too – made a lovely low-key beach afternoon on our first day.— Forest School
