Ready for an unforgettable sporting adventure? Halsbury's Sports Challenge Series tours combine sports, camaraderie and a splash of competitive spirit to create lifelong memories for your students.

These exclusive sports festivals, skillfully orchestrated by Halsbury, come alive in the heart of Europe's most accessible and sports-mad destinations, like the Netherlands and Spain. These aren't your ordinary sports tournaments. On our Sports Challenge Series tours, UK school sports teams lock horns to develop their competitive edge and share some incredible sporting experiences. When they’re not on the pitch or the court, they can test themselves in our Skills Challenge Zone. And what's a sports festival without a rousing awards ceremony and a disco to groove the night away? This is the only way to celebrate the bonds formed and the accomplishments achieved.

With 40 years of arranging school trips under our belt, we understand the importance of safety and seamless logistics. Every Sports Challenge Series will be meticulously planned and run by our school travel specialists, leaving you free to enjoy seeing your students seize the moment and make memories that’ll last a lifetime.

So, get ready to ignite the spirit of sportsmanship and adventure as your students take on Halsbury’s Sports Challenge Series. Because when it comes to shaping young minds and fostering lifelong passions, we're here to make sure the journey’s as exhilarating as the destination.
