Yorkshire Private School Open Day Chauffeur

Chauffeured open-day circuits for Ampleforth, Sedbergh, Giggleswick, Queen Ethelburga's and Gresham's House — one day, three schools if you want.

Yorkshire parents shortlisting boarding schools face a genuine logistics problem: three schools in two days across the county, none on a mainline. A driven open-day circuit collapses this to one comfortable day.

Booked by south-based Yorkshire diaspora families exploring boarding options, and by international families viewing schools in a UK 48-hour window.

Hotel → Ampleforth → Queen Ethelburga's → Giggleswick → return. 130–170 miles in a day.

The silver Mercedes-Benz V-Class is a luxury MPV seating up to 7 passengers with generous luggage space. Share passenger and luggage details when enquiring.

Full day 08:30 to 18:00 with 90 min at each school.

£720 for a two-school day, £860 for three schools, all inclusive.

• Timings coordinated with each admissions office in advance
• Named contact at each school pre-notified of your arrival
• Prospectus and lunch arrangements pre-arranged
• Quiet return-leg discussion time with silent-driver option
• Follow-up trip if you shortlist for a second visit

• Ampleforth to Sedbergh is 90 minutes via A66 — not to be done at 4pm on a Friday
• QE's open days can accommodate lunch on-site if pre-arranged
• Some houses require a separate visit slot from the main tour — worth pre-planning

Two schools in one day realistic?

Yes — Ampleforth + QE, or Giggleswick + Sedbergh. Three schools is a stretch and usually reduces each visit to 60 min.

Can you help brief the student?

Silent-driver option or brief-discussion mode — pre-selected. Many parents use the drive between schools to talk through questions.

Can a return visit be arranged?

Yes. A second visit can be quoted around the new date, route and school appointments.
