Social
Activities For Adults in Torquay
A weekly programme is offered throughout the year with a
minimum of two evening activities per week and one excursion
every weekend. During July and August, there are optional
afternoon and evening activities organised.
Torquay has so much
to offer and we want you to see as much as possible during
your stay. The English Riviera enoys a warm maritime climate
with mild winters and warm summers. Torquay offers spectacular
coastal walks along 22 miles of cliffs, beaches and coves.
Nearby is the picturesque village of Cockington with its
thatched cottages, countryside park and mansion which now
houses a craft centre. A short distance from Torquay, Brixham,
an ancient fishing village, is a popular destination for
visitors together with the National Nature Reserve at Berry
Head with dramatic views over the sea.
Whatever time of year you choose to come, our student services
staff are on hand to offer practical advice and suggestions
about what to do in your free time. They will also help in
making hotel and transport reservations, booking theatre
and concert tickets and can confirm your coach ticket and
flight reservations at the end of your stay.
We negotiate with local suppliers so our students get the
best rates for cycle and car hire. Student discounts can
be obtained from shops in the area on production of an International
House Student Card. Every week the social activites manager organises an optional
programme of half-day and full-day excursions, afternoon
sports and evening activities.
