The closure of Kingswood venues and company administration is very sad, not only for Kingswood and its excellent staff team, but also for the school groups who will be affected and who may now miss out on their booked trips this year.

We are a fully bonded school tour operator with extensive school trip experience working to impeccable standards, providing an all-inclusive approach to school residential visits.

We work with delivery partners across the UK to offer a range of school residentials and adventure activity programmes, delivered by some of the most experienced providers in the UK.

If you have a school trip booked at any of the following centres during 2025, we’d be delighted to talk to you to see if we can find you an alternative residential visit. 

  • Colomendy, North Wales 
  • Dukeswood House, Northumberland 
  • Green Park, Buckinghamshire 
  • Peak Venture, South Yorkshire 
  • Ryde, Isle of Wight 
  • Staffordshire, near Wolverhampton 
  • West Runton, Norfolk 

We provide an all-inclusive approach to UK school visits offering a package that includes your return coach travel, accommodation, meals and activities. As well as providing packages during the popular spring / summer periods, we also specialise in delivering our trips during the less expensive low-season times of year – October to March.

Please feel free to make contact with us to see if we can help with finding you an alternative residential visit for 2025.
