🌍 Is your child aged 11–17 and looking for something different this summer?

The summer holidays can be long, and it isn't always easy finding activities that are engaging, affordable and genuinely beneficial.

Our English Friend Programme gives local young people the opportunity to meet international students from countries including Japan, Italy, Spain, France, Germany, South Korea and Oman, while taking part in a range of organised activities and day trips.

What are the benefits?

✅ Build confidence and communication skills

✅ Make new friends from around the world

✅ Learn about different cultures and traditions

✅ Enjoy organised activities throughout the summer

✅ Take part in trips to Liverpool and Manchester

✅ Spend less time on screens and more time making memories

Many of our English Friends tell us that they develop friendships that last long after the summer has ended.

📅 Dates: 23rd June – 10th August

👧🧑 Ages: 11–17 years

📍 Based in Chester

If your son or daughter would enjoy meeting young people from around the world and experiencing something a little different this summer, we'd love to hear from you.

☀️🌈 The Linguastay team had an amazing time supporting the Duddon St Peters Primary School Colour Run!

Armed with plenty of paint powder, lots of laughter, and a bit too much enthusiasm… we made sure everyone crossed the finish line looking VERY colourful 🎨😂

Ewan, Mat’s son, definitely embraced the experience and ended the day brighter than ever! 💖💜💙
