England and Ireland in autumn – More than just rain!

If you’re interested in doing an English course in Britain, you might not have considered doing it in the autumn. The idea of bad weather might be off-putting, but Britain has a lot to offer whatever the weather is like. Rainy days are a part of autumn in most parts of Europe and even in Britain it doesn’t rain all the time! Better still, if you book early, you can save up to 50% on the cost of your course.

We have put together some of the most attractive options available from our partner schools this autumn. You can choose to enjoy the season either in a culturally rich city such as London, Exeter or York, or outside the city, strolling along a Devon beach in the autumn sun. And, if it does rain, you can always take shelter in a café with a local cream tea or in a cozy pub with traditionally brewed real ale and a roaring fire.

Many courses are not only cheaper in the off-season, but also take place in much smaller groups. You can take advantage of these benefits and still enjoy the best that Britain has to offer. The magnificent Devon coastline, for example, looks as beautiful in autumn as it does in high summer. You can visit the wonderful “English Riviera” and enjoy an afternoon tea on the seafront or take a boat trip. In London, autumn sees the start of the theatre season and, should it rain, you can simply take the tube.
