SERVAS INTERNATIONAL YOUTH AND FAMILY EVENT
We are now able to take bookings for the event. For a booking form please contact : Ann Greenhough (dasher1949[at]aol.com)
See attached publicity which we have previously circulated about the event. - (Monthly News Oct/Nov)
Accommodation:
The cost per person for the event will be dependant on the type of accommodation. We have 48 beds in dormitory style bunkhouses and a limited number of places in more comfortable Bed and Breakfast type accommodation. The least expensive option is camping if you have your own equipment. We will have our own camping area next to the main building which has space for up to 75 people if needed.
Catering:
Everyone will take the evening meal together. This will be provided by the Centre. For those in the bunkhouses and the main house food will be provided daily to prepare breakfast together in small groups. Campers will be self catering for breakfast and lunch although some may want full board at extra cost.
Reductions for Young People and Families with Teenagers and Children
We are able to provide a number of places for young people and families with children at 50% of the full cost. Unfortunately we do not have sufficient funds to provide places at no cost at all. Please let us know if you are a young person who is keen to come but find the costs too high. We will have a small number of tents available for those without their own equipment.

Nearby accommodation
You may want to take part in the event but prefer to arrange your own accommodation. Bed and Breakfast and self catering cottages are available in the nearby village of Austwick which is in walking distance of the Dalesbridge Centre. Costs will be higher than at the Centre – an average cost for Bed and Breakfast in the area is around £26 per person per night. Self –catering cottages are all available but can be quite expensive in high season. This might be a suitable option for a larger party from one family or National group. Evening meals with the Servas group would be available at the Centre. Please ask for details of contacts in the area. We would make a small daily charge per person for use of the group facilities available at the event.
Facilities and Activities at the Centre
We will have use of a number of rooms of all sizes throughout the week and our own outdoor space with small marquee next to the camping area and main house. There will be other campers on the site which has a reception area, internet access and a bar open most nights. Austwick is a small village a few minutes walk away with its own pub, Settle is the nearest town with shops and banks.
Any questions?
Please ask.
