Accommodation

Our accommodation for the weekend is at The Barrel Store at New Brewery Arts. The accommodation offers stylish, affordable accommodation in the heart of the Cotswolds and is adjoined to New Brewery Arts, a local centre for craft.

Our accommodation for the trip will be in 4-bed dorms, exclusive to our group. If you’re booking with a friend let us know and we’ll make sure you get a room together. 

NOTE: There is no car parking at this hostel, there is only paid on-street parking.

Food

Our meals for the weekend will be prepared on-site at The Barrel Store, for breakfast and dinner. Saturday lunch is not included, as we will be out in the morning and do not know a specific return time. Please do bring something to eat for Saturday lunch, this could be a sandwich or you can make up lunch in the self-catered kitchen when we get back.
