The programme is framed around the following themes:

The Tour will be in four stages:
Stage One: Before the tour leaves, all Bursars will meet in Cape Town for three days. The object of this time will be for the Bursars to be introduced to one another / to interact both formally and informally / to be appraised of the tour programme / to understand fully their role and the expectations of them. This stage concludes with a Farewell Dinner with the Abe Bailey Trustees and past Bursars (Old Abes).
Stage Two: For nine days, the Bursars will be based at Goodenough College in North London. During this time, they will be touring the sights of London, meeting people of interest, giving presentations to the bursars, attending discussion groups, attending two West End theatre productions like Hamilton. Depending on individual interests, Bursars will choose museums and work shadow opportunities.
Stage Three: At the conclusion of the London leg, the Bursars will be 'on tour'. Over the next four days, Guides will be introducing Oxford, Cambridge and Stratford-Upon-Avon to the group. This section of the trip will be finished off by attending a performance at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford-Upon-Avon.
Stage Four: After travelling up to Scotland, seeing the sights of Edinburgh and spending a day at St Andrew'
s University, the group will spend four days at The Burn - a country retreat belonging to Goodenough College. In this relaxing atmosphere, Bursar presentations will be concluded, trips will be undertaken to explore the surrounding countryside and opportunity given for pleasant relaxation.
Bursars will then travel to Glasgow to catch their flight home.
