| HMS Belfast | Would have been 5 stars as last year, but we were left to sort out the packed lunch that we'd ordered but that hadn't been sent through to the catering staff. This put additional pressure on APS staff (and our concierge on the Belfast), and meant that the morning session was not delivered to the expected standard, we had to personally pay for and source 52 packed lunches, and exiting the ship was rushed and stressful. However, the Kip on a Ship leader has refunded the cost of the lunches and provided a discount for a future visit. We will return next year, as the venue is spectacular and recompense has been made. | 04 April 2024 | |
| Tower of London - Historic Royal Palaces | Both the paid for session and free guided tour were fantastic - we were lucky enough to catch Amanda Clark (second ever female yeoman) giving a talk at the execution memorial on the green. | 04 April 2024 | |

| Natural History Museum | The Evolution Workshop was well-led and linked perfectly to our science topic. While the rest of the staff were very kind and polite, they didn't seem to know where education sessions needed to be - we were misinformed on both the pre-trip site visit and upon entry on the day! | 04 April 2024 | |
