Introduction
YHA provide flexible breaks for sports and outdoor recreation groups that are perfectly tailored to your needs and budget.
If you’re thinking rural retreats, seaside escapes or city hideaways, somewhere safe to keep your bike, hang up your climbing gear or to kick off your walking boots, you’re looking in the right place. Why not add meeting space to call your own, gorgeous surroundings to gaze over while enjoying a drink from our café bar or a base for a good night’s sleep after a busy day of adventures to your wish list too?
Based in amazing locations throughout England and Wales and offering great facilities, we are experienced in providing sports and outdoor recreation groups of all shapes and sizes with flexible breaks that are perfectly tailored to their needs and budget. Whether you select a self-led break or take YHA-led activities, opt to self-cater or choose for YHA to provide breakfast, packed lunches and evening meals for you, our experienced groups specialists are here to help you plan your ideal residential in a hostel that will meet your requirements.
To ensure your residential is just right, we recommend that you talk through the options available with an experienced adviser who can arrange a free hostel pre-visit or a phone call at a time to suit you.
