Stepping Out: Family activities
Staying strong We’ve invested an amazing £30 million in our hostels over the last three years, with the aim of ensuring we can continue to inspire and enrich a new generation of hostellers. And we’re delighted to announce that due to our sustained growth in income, this investment will continue into 2017, with ten more of our properties set to benefit next year. They are: YHA Bath, YHA New Forest, YHA St David’s, YHA Tanners Hatch, YHA Liverpool, YHA Hartington Hall, YHA Treyarnon, YHA London St Paul’s, YHA London Thameside and YHA Keswick.
Sunset sounds Love music? Missing summer? We’ve put together a double compilation album of the best live music sessions from the wonderful Trey Bay Café at YHA Treyarnon. All songs on the Sunset Sessions CD have been donated by the artists, so that £5 from each sale goes straight to our charity Breaks for Kids. Buy yours for just £8.46 (inc p&p) at yha.org.uk/sunset-sessionscompilation-cd-treyarnon-bay
Proper family fun

At just £120 for the full package from Friday evening to Sunday lunch (including sole-use family rooms and all meals), it covers activities such as weaselling, canoeing, raft-building, abseiling, archery, orienteering, a high-ropes course and more. The weekends will be taking place on Nov 25th-27th, Dec 30th-Jan 1st, Feb 24th-26th, April 7th-9th & May 12th-14th. All outdoor and specialist equipment is provided and there are free transfers from Edale railway station for those arriving by train. Single-activity sessions (excluding accommodation) can be booked through YHA for £20/adults and £14/under-18s.
