Art History Abroad
Is your child particularly interested in art history and the beautiful architecture and culture of locations like Venice? Art History Abroad is the place to go for summer holiday courses, semester courses and in-depth gap year courses. With a range of different options, these experiences are like an ultimate school trip with more freedom, touring countless European cities with opportunities to relax and enjoy the sunshine in among the intense cultural education. arthistoryabroad.com
Black Tomato
Designed for ages 12 and over, Black Tomato travel company has created its Field Trip initiative, aimed at taking education outside of the classroom through traveling and experiencing the world. The hope is to create an environment where young people are keen to learn for the sake of learning, not because there is an exam to sit at the end of the year. The subjects range from Sustainability, Social Studies, Earth Sciences to History and the Arts in places across the world. blacktomato.com
RHS Gardening Courses

The Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) offers fantastic training courses such as ‘Gardening Basics’, growing food in your ‘Edible Garden’ and instruction on seasonal plants in the ‘A Year in Your Gardening Club’. These courses can teach young people to appreciate how their food is grown and reconnect with the process which takes a plant from seed to their plate.
The RHS has great courses for adults too, with a wide range of broad and specific options from wisteria pruning to having success with house plants to understanding what soil you have in your garden.
For a holiday or weekend treat, head to any of the number of RHS gardens which are perfect for getting out and growing an appreciation for the natural world. rhs.org.uk

Meanwhile, licensed drivers can try their hand at the Spin and Slide or on the Performance Track following the tyre tracks of racing heroes such as Jim Clark and Sir Jackie Stewart. goodwood.com
