Accommodation
Accommodation is in shared dormitory rooms of up to 4 people. There are no single rooms available. Dormitories will be allocated by gender in advance. Some rooms have ensuites which will be shared by all people in the same dormitory, where showers and toilets are shared 1:4. Non-en-suite rooms have toilet / shower rooms where toilets and showers are generally shared on 1:3 ratio.

If you are bringing a guest and they are the same gender as you, we will be able to put you in the same room. If they are a different gender, they will be in a different room.

If you wish to attend but would prefer to stay in private accommodation close by, please let us know. Unfortunately we are unable to offer any discount on the price of the trip if this is the case.

Deposit, Minimum Numbers, and Refunds
An initial booking deposit (or the full amount if you’d prefer) is due by 1st November 2026. We must have at least 40 people booked onto the trip by 1st November for the weekend to go ahead. If we do not have these numbers by this date, all monies paid will be refunded to you w/c 2nd November.

If you change your mind about the trip, your deposit (or full amount paid) is refundable until 1st November. If you change your mind about attending after this date, we will only be able to refund your money if you find someone to fill your space. This is because we confirm numbers with the activity centre in early November.
