Organised by Lou


Please note that this is now closed for bookings and there will be no further additions.

Final numbers have already been passed to Blenheim to enable them to plan their staffing/guides for our visit.
I will keep a waiting list should anyone drop out.

Join us for a visit to Blenheim Palace, one of England’s largest stately homes, set in 2000 acres of landscaped parkland.  It is also the birthplace of Winston Churchill, a World Heritage Site and an “on location” set to many films and TV productions.

There is choice of two tours:
Children’s Tour for children aged approx 5-12yrs

“A general children’s tour is available for school groups of all age. It is designed to give children a fun insight to the history of the Palace and the people who have lived here over the past 300 years.”

Churchill Tour and Business Studies talk for children aged 13-16yrs (this is GCSE level and participants will need to be working at that level).

“In this commemorative year we have introduced an educational tour focusing on Sir Winston Churchill and his connection to Blenheim Palace.”

and “How Blenheim Estate and Palace is run as a business. It is vital that funds are generated for restoration and conservation to ensure the longevity of Blenheim Palace for generations to come.”

Please ensure you choose the right option, depending on whether you want to do the Business Studies talk which will be after the tour (there will be a short break in between)

Adults may accompany their children – but must please remember to remain quiet during the tour/talk, as background noise/chat is disruptive for both the children and the guides.

Afterwards, your ticket may be converted to an annual pass at no extra charge, if you wish.

Prices & Booking
Please book using the form below.
Children’s Tour for children aged approx 5-12yrs £6.60 (if you pay via by personal PayPal transfer or £7.03 if you pay via the website)
Winston Churchill Tour and Business Studies talk for children aged 13-16yrs £6.60  (if you pay via by personal PayPal transfer or £7.03 if you pay via the website)
Adults £12  (if you pay via by personal PayPal transfer or £12.63 if you pay via the website)

You may also make a personal PayPal payment via www.paypal.me/eventseducationista (please DON’T tick the “paying for goods or services” box)

(If paying by personal PayPal payment, OPT TO PAY OFFLINE, below, and please put your names and what you are paying for on your personal PayPal payment)

If you have successfully sent your booking, a little green message to that effect will appear at the bottom of the page and you’ll get an email from the website.
You’ll receive another email, when your booking is confirmed.

(If you already have an annual pass but wish to join the tour/talks, please book in the normal way, below,  don’t pay BUT you must add a note, (in the “Additional Information” box ABOVE where it says “Send your booking” in red) to say you already have an annual pass, otherwise your places won’t be confirmed)

The saving arising from the free adult places will be shared pro-rata to the number of paying child spaces and will be refunded, after the event, to those who attend as per their booking.

THIS IS NOW CLOSED FOR BOOKINGS.  If you have not already paid (or hold an annual pass) please forward your payment by the END OF MONDAY 9 NOV 2015.
PLACES THAT HAVE NOT BEEN PAID FOR WILL BE CANCELLED after that date.

    Hi Lou,

    I booked for this but have not received any tickets. Do I need them? What happens when we arrive? Sorry for all the questions, but coming from Wales to this so want to make sure we can get to do the trip. Thanks

      Hi Joanne,
      You won’t receive individual tickets until the day. I’ll email out nearer the time with specific details. Essentially, we’ll meet in the morning and all go in together and do whatever tours/talks you’ve chosen (as these are set times). Then you’ll be free to go around the house/gardens at your leisure and leave when you like.

      Hope that helps
      Lou

    Hi Lou,
    A couple of questions: when will the information email be sent out? Secondly, are there any spaces left on the younger children’s tour? I was hoping to recommend the trip to some friends.

      Hi Iman,

      The information email is going out today.

      No more people are being added because final numbers have already been provided to Blenheim so that they can arrange for a suitable number of guides for our visit.

      Thx, Lou

This Website

This website is purely a booking website. Any home-educator is welcome to use it for free, as long as the event is not-for-profit for them personally.

Adult spaces/tickets:
Please put “adult” in the age box. (Adult ages are not required)

Children’s ages are asked for to enable the organiser to pass on the age-range to the venue/workshop leader. Also, in the case of there being free teacher/adult spaces, these are normally calculated on the child/ren’s age.

Educationista Foundation

We were successful in registering "Educationista Foundation" as a CIO with the Charity Commission.

We'd like to invite any home-educator who is interested in joining in activities or getting involved in the charity itself, to join the facebook group for it, which is here:
facebook.com/groups/EducationistaFoundation.

However, the charity is separate from this website.
(It just uses this website for bookings for ease and because it time-stamps the bookings, which may be necessary for over-subscribed events)

Payments for Events

Payment for events must be made directly to the organiser.
Their PayPal/payment details will be detailed on the event.
If the organiser requests a bank payment (this will be clear on the event itself), then you may request them by email if they are not already known to you.

You are NOT be able to pay via the website PayPal as some of you may have done previously – this is because this attracts PayPal fees which cannot be passed on (following legislation that comes into effect from January 2018).

Your space(s) are not confirmed until payment has been received.

Cancellations/Non-attendance & Refunds

Most venues and attractions need to booked and paid in advance.
Therefore, unfortunately refunds are not normally possible unless your space(s) can be filled.
If you are unable to attend for whatever reason, please let the organiser know as soon as possible. They may they have a reserve/waiting list.

Welcome to Educationista.com

Thank you for visiting! Please put your feet up and make yourself at home.

This website shares educational places to go, things to do and reviews of educational trips.

Search through the directory's growing list of places to go and resources. - all categorised by subject area and age-range.

Browse through the list of upcoming events.

(Please remember - You must be registered (it's free) on the site and logged in, in order to actually book.)

Inclusion of an event on this website is NOT an endorsement of it. This is a booking website (and particularly in the case of home-education events, this website does NOT seek to replace local or national support groups)

The individual organiser is responsible for their own event.
The organiser's name appears on their events so you can identify whose event it is.

If payment is taken through the website, this will unavoidably incur PayPal fees. Therefore please pay the organiser direct if at all possible.

If you have events, trips, resources etc to share... we'd love to hear from you!
