Group homestays in Brighton
We arrange group homestays in Brighton for schools and youth groups, working with experienced host families across the area. The city is located on the south coast of England, approximately one hour by train from London.
Brighton is a vibrant seaside city on the south coast of England, known for its distinctive blend of Regency architecture, creative culture, and coastal charm. As one of the UK’s most popular destinations for group visits, Brighton offers a compact city centre with historic attractions within walking distance of the seafront.
The city has a long tradition of welcoming visitors, with cultural venues, museums, and a thriving arts scene that make it well-suited for educational and leisure groups alike.
What group leaders need to know
Every group is quoted individually, because centre, dates and numbers all move the price. The practical arrangements are the same wherever your group stays.
Students stay with host families in twos, threes and fours. Group leaders and other adults travelling with the group can have single rooms if any are free when you book.
We suggest full board: breakfast and dinner at the family’s table, and a packed lunch to take out for the day. Half board, without the packed lunch, is also an option.
A local organiser is at the meeting point each morning and evening. Students are handed over between host families and group leaders with someone responsible present both times.
Airport transfers can be arranged for the whole group by taxi, minibus or coach. Ask for a quotation when you enquire.
Hosts who take students under 18 are DBS checked, and our safeguarding policies cover every group placement.
Larger groups pay less per person. A deposit of 20% of the total or £500, whichever is higher, holds the booking. The balance is due 28 days before arrival.
Send us your dates, group size and anything the group needs, and we will come back with a quote for Brighton. See the group booking FAQs for the finer points.
