March of the Living UK is an extraordinary, unforgettable experience. It is a packed 4 day educational journey in Poland where UK Students, Young Adults and Adults join the March of the Living UK team of the best educators and remarkable Survivors to learn about 1,000 Years of Jewish Life in Poland and the devastation and horrors of the Holocaust. You will experience the International March of the Living event where the UK delegation joins thousands of people, from countries all around the world, to share in a once in a lifetime experience marching the three kilometres from Auschwitz to Birkenau. You can be there to participate in this historic, life-changing event.
The group will be split over age/background appropriate buses. Each group will have an educator and a bus leader. We hope to be joined by Survivors who will accompany the buses.

Insurance
All participants must have their own health & travel insurance.
Hotels
In Poland we stay in 4* hotels. We try for all groups to stay in the same hotel so if you have family members on different buses you will have some time with them early morning and late evening as meals are usually together.
For adults requiring a single room there will be a single supplement charge of £300.
Room Sharing (for Students and Young Adults)
During your stay in Poland you will be allocated rooms with one or two others in your group. If you do not specify who you wish to share a room with, we will pair you with another person or persons. Naturally we will try to do this based on age and bus but this is not always possible.
Food
All food is kosher on this trip. Breakfast & Dinner are in the hotel and there will be a packed lunch. If you have any dietary issues we recommend that you bring some of your own food -this is especially important for vegans and those with more specific requirements.
Your Preparation for the Trip
There will be an Orientation Day for everyone in March which we would encourage you to join. Details will be sent out after booking. This is the opportunity for you to meet others in the group, learn about what to expect from your trip, get more information on the trip itself and meet your bus leader.
