Social Programme
Multi-Campus Events
Two campuses, one family!
On the Millfield English Language Holiday Courses action-packed activities and events provide a memorable experience for all.
Both campuses are brought together for large events to participate in a wide variety of exciting activities such as the Rock Festival, Millfield the Musical, International Food Festival, Summer Fete and many more.
Please note that the activities on offer change daily and not all activities will be available every week.
Evening Activities
A full social programme is provided at each campus, making every moment special. This ensures that every student is kept busy and has maximum opportunity to practise English whilst making friends with students from around the world, in a fun and enjoyable environment.
An impressive programme of evening activities provides the fun that delivers the true ‘Millfield Experience.’
At some of the big evening events, all campuses join together giving students the opportunity to meet up with friends and siblings based at other campuses.
Evening activities include the Millfield Extravaganza, Water Olympics, Discos, Talent Shows, House Song Competitions, and so much more. On Mondays each house will hold a House Party with fun games to help students to get to know each other.
Please note that the evening activities on offer change daily and so not all activities will be available every week or at every campus.
Excursions
Students enjoy one full-day and one half-day excursion every week. A careful balance of active, historical, fun and educational excursions are provided. Students are accompanied by Millfield staff who provide help and guidance and ensure students are using spoken English.
Teachers incorporate excursion experiences into lessons, enabling students to take their education beyond the classroom.
