The next Mad Travel trip runs March 28 to April 2, 2027. Here is what the six days look like for a student from Newark.
The group gathers at Newark Liberty at 7:30 on Sunday evening and leaves on British Airways Flight 188 at 9:30. They land at London Heathrow at 9:30 Monday morning, and a bus takes them straight to Wroxton College in Oxfordshire.
Wroxton College is an independent study campus in a 17th-century Jacobean mansion. For 60 years it was the British campus of Fairleigh Dickinson University, and Madeline studied there herself. Students settle in over tea and biscuits, then hear a welcome briefing from the Dean, Dr. Nicholas Baldwin, before a tour of the Abbey and its grounds.
On Tuesday the group visits Warwick Castle and Shakespeare’s birthplace in Stratford-upon-Avon, then sees a play at the Royal Shakespeare Company. Entrance fees and the theater tickets are included.
On Wednesday the group moves to a London hotel and takes the Big Bus tour, on a 24-hour ticket. Thursday starts with the rest of the bus tour, then the British Museum, a boat tour on the River Thames and Camden Market. The week ends with a group dinner.
On Friday the group meets at Heathrow at 9:00, leaves on British Airways Flight 185 at 11:00 and lands in Newark at 1:55 that afternoon.
