YHA Youth Hostels, School Trips, Team Building Activity Centres in Yorkshire

Group Holidays in Yorkshire - Budget Activity Holidays

Yorkshire is particularly well covered for bunkhouses and outdoor activity centres, found in, for example, West Yorkshire around Heptonstall and Hebden Bridge and the Yorkshire Dales. Umm, why not put your corporate team through 'physical hell' in one of the many outdoor centres which usually include an array of outdoor activities such as climbing, walking and hiking, as well as orienteering.

Many outdoor activity centres are located near lakes, offering a choice of watersports with trained supervisors on hand to assist and advise. Accommodation sleeping arrangements in Youth Hostels, Activity Centres and Bunkhouses are usually dormitory style with separate female and male dormitories. Occasional family rooms are available. Be sure to check with the accommodation provider if you require a separate family room.

Yorkshire is also well served by Youth Hostels. The obvious issue about group accommodation is that you spread the cost. Families can combine to do this, and camping and Youth Hostels are always a cheap budget accommodation option. Look out for Backpacker Hostels as well - there's a particularly large one in York, which makes the perfect choice for a cheap accommodation venue, and a change to meet other travellers.

Yorkshire Team Building Activity Centres and Outdoor Activity Centres

There's plenty of choice of corporate entertainment and training centres in Yorkshire, some very large accommodating over 100, with often more than one group attending courses and/or activities at any one time. Some centres will accommodate smaller numbers around the 35 mark, meaning that there is only ever one group at the centre.

Development programmes at Team Building Activity Centres can range from Personal and Team Development, Basic Team building, Stress and its Management, Assertiveness and Conflict Management and general Corporate Entertainment Breaks - all these seem befitting to the times!

Some centres will be more basic than others. Always check on facilities, particularly restaurant facilities, training and accreditation of staff. Many centres will offer you a choice of either using their courses and trained staff or bringing your own package.

Yorkshire Outdoor Activity Centres and Educational Centres

Activities at Outdoor Activity Centres include things like rock climbing, hill walking, camping, sailing, orienteering, canoeing and kayaking, caving, gorge walking, mountain biking and sometimes skiing! The level of outdoor pursuits depends largely on the experience and interest of guests, but most courses offered will include a basic introduction to the activity.

Yorkshire Youth Hostels

With 230 youth hostels across the UK, Youth Hostels remain one of the most extensive choices for group holidays at an affordable price. Many are located within beautiful countryside and Yorkshire is no exception. You'll find youth hostels across Yorkshire from Mankinholes in West Yorkshire to Dentdale, Hawes and beautiful Ingleton in the Yorkshire Dales.

Youth Hostels offer much these days, including the obvious - low cost, but also high standards of service, safety and security and often exclusive use options. Some offer education packages linked to the National Curriculum, evening activities and group activities including walking and other outdoor activities. Check out the website for the full list of activities on offer. Accommodation type is mostly dormitory style, and some venues are camping barns which are converted farm buildings providing simple, self-catering accommodation.

You can rent Youth Hostels all to yourselves, if you're a large group, with exclusive use of facilities. Annual membership fees are extremely low, making Youth Hostels the perfect low cost group family option. Always check when booking whether the particular youth hostel is more suitable for families or large groups, and also check on issues like disabled access as some are better than others. Youth Hostels also now offer summer camp facilities.Group holiday accommodation in the Lake District Group holiday accommodation in the North West Group holiday accommodation in Devon
