Club 50+ English course in Brighton
This friendly seaside city has the perfect blend of excitement and relaxed sunny beach vibes during your English language course. Our school is located just off the Old Steine Gardens - a gorgeous greenspace with a Victorian fountain and a beautifully crafted War Memorial. The teaching facilities are modern and fully equipped - with free WiFi, a student lounge and multilingual staff should you need assistance at any point during your Club 50+ English language course.
Brighton’s coast is lined with an eccentric array of shops, cafés and vendors sure to have something for everyone on their shelves. There’s always something to see or do at every corner, never leaving a dull moment. North Laine is a must-see when exploring Brighton — it’s vibrant and energetic atmosphere in part due to the phenomenal street art covering most buildings. North Laine also gives easy access to The Lanes, which is another Brighton gem.
Of course, one of Brighton’s main draws are the beautiful sea views. From time spent soaking up the sun to strolling on the Brighton Palace Pier, you can easily spend a day on Brighton’s pebbled beach and surrounding areas without getting bored. The Victorian pier is home to Brighton’s famous Fish & Chips restaurant as well as a fairground and arcade.
Brighton’s Royal Pavillion is an absolute showstopper that cannot be missed during your language course. Mixing Regency and Indian architecture with a Chinese-inspired interior, the Royal Pavilion is certainly a maximalist masterpiece with plenty of eye-catching details to keep you enthralled for hours.

Student reviews & feedback
Club 50+ with Host Family
The course was good, my accomodation was excellent, clean and near the school. The host family was excellent as well. They were all friendly and we could talk a lot. I have learned a lot about the life in UK with them.
