More and more people of all ages and from diverse social backgrounds are discovering a different way of using their leisure time. The activity/study holiday concept is not exactly new to the UK, but up until now it has tended to appeal to a certain type of person — the super‐athletic or the academic. An operation based on the Sussex coast was founded in the belief that a stay in a relaxed amenity‐filled environment, studying a favourite subject or discovering a new one, can be as enjoyable and stimulating as the more conventional type of holiday. Throughout the year, the Earnley Concourse runs a huge range of residential courses open to anyone over the age of 16. These courses take place for either a weekend, a mid‐week period or a complete week during the Summer. Although the weekend courses mostly attract people living in the South of England and the Home Counties, the longer courses draw people from all over the UK and even the Continent. Travel is no problem — an efficient train service operates from London (Victoria) to Chichester, and once there visitors have only to step into a mini‐bus for the seven mile drive to the Concourse.
