Kingswood Isle of Wight Closure

We were devastated today to hear the news about Kingswood Isle of Wight closing with immediate effect due to the liquidation of their parent company, Inspiring Learning Group.

Education Destination Ltd still has some capacity for most dates during the busy summer period, and good availability for trips outside the main May/June/July rush.

For schools impacted by the Kingswood closure, be assured that we will try our hardest to put together a comparable package at a comparable price in order that you can continue your Isle of Wight visit as planned this year. We're also ready to welcome you in 2026 and beyond.

Contact our sales office on 01983 216220, Monday-Friday 8am-4pm or get a quote and proposal using our Online Quote process.

Congratulations to the 14-year-old winner from Elton School in our Christmas Coffee Branding competition!

A panel of five judges, including department heads from sales, marketing, and directors, evaluated the entries using a weighted tiering system based on their top three choices. The winning design stood out overall, with judges particularly impressed by the additional sketches that illustrated the student’s journey from initial concept to final version, perfectly capturing the essence of Christmas Coffee.
