Ten schools. £1,000 each. Plenty of adventures waiting to happen.
School trips, sorted. FEST is a UK-based school tour operator, part of First Travel Solutions and First Bus. It designs and delivers all-inclusive residential trips, educational visits and outdoor adventures for schools across the country, bringing travel, accommodation, meals and activities together in one straightforward package.
From the first enquiry to the journey home, each school has one dedicated contact to help coordinate the details. That support can include planning documents, risk assessments, safeguarding policies, menus and itineraries, giving group leaders fewer moving parts to manage and more time to focus on their pupils.
