We will be traveling to Belfast for the Connections Festival on Sunday, 13th April 2025. Our show time is at 12:00 PM, and we are planning a day trip, as I will not be able to go up the night before due to a dance company competition. We will meet at 5:00 AM in the city centre, and our coach departs at 5:25 AM, arriving in Belfast at 7:35 AM. After arrival, we will grab some food before heading to the theatre, where we will begin tech at 10:00 AM.

After our show, I’ve booked us to see the next youth theatre's performance at 5:00 PM. In between, we’ll participate in a workshop, have lunch in the local area, and take time to interact with other students. After the evening show, we will head back to the bus terminal for the 8:25 PM coach, returning to the city centre around 10:50 PM.

Trip Cost
The total fee for this trip will be £75, which will be added to your account. This covers tickets for the 5:00 PM show, the workshop, the participation fee for the festival, coach transport, and chaperone costs.

Food and Travel Details
We understand there are a variety of dietary needs among the students. We will ensure there are good food options, but we ask that students bring cash to purchase their own food, as it’s easier for everyone. For the coach travel, Belfast uses a tap-on, tap-off system for buses. If your child has a tap card, please let us know. If not, please inform us so we can prepare for this, and an extra £5 will be added to the fee to cover this.
