IMPORTANT: The event capacity is 39 and the event is now full. The waiting list function for this particular event isn't working correctly, so if you book on now you may be added to the main list and not the waiting list in error, sorry. However you will be in effect on the waiting list and we will treat you booking as such until you gain a place within the 39 event capacity. Apologies for the hassle here - it is just a technical peculiarity with this event page.
Weeeeeeeeeee wish you a Family Christmas, we wish you a Family Christmas so join us right now!
Family Christmas returns and Danny and Andy are back to host you for 3 nights in a very special place.
Our hostel was the place back in 2016 on Christmas Day at Family Christmas where Andy proposed to Danny (and he said yes....). So for us to be back here is so very special for us in our 5th year of marriage! We would love to celebrate both Christmas and our engagement anniversary with you all.
So if you fancy a change to your usual Christmas plans or you have none and want some, we are here to host you, to feed you (and yes, there will be a lot and to keep you entertained over the festive period.
Christmas can be a quiet time for some and a hectic, stressful time for others. We can give you the remedy to both scenarios. We can promise laughs, chill time, maybe a movie night, possibly a cheeky dance and some awful cracker jokes for sure. But also, given our location we can offer some fantastic walking options.
Cheesy Christmas jumpers are welcome here and of course a secret Santa will take place on Christmas Day.
We usually get out on Christmas Day to stretch the legs, then with a longer walk on Boxing Day to walk off some calories. But if you want to just chill, play some board games, watch a movie, have a nap.....whatever, its all up to you.
Its the perfect way to occupy the festive season and in such a lovely place.

Food & drink
PLEASE ARRIVE HUNGRY... NO, WE ARE NOT KIDDING :-)
Christmas Eve (Arrival): We will welcome you all to the hostel with some mince pies and the smell of mulled wine on the hob. The perfect start to Christmas.
Christmas Eve (Dinner): We will have the usual OutdoorLads buffet so bring an item for a one or two people to share but don't bring too much; we like to avoid too much wastage of food wherever possible. Think about home cooking something, it always tastes so much better.
Christmas Day Brunch: Served from 10.30am, this will include Scrambled Egg served with your choice of Salmon, Mushrooms or Bacon. All washed down with a glass of Bucks Fizz. Cereals and toast will be available if anyone wants them too.
Christmas Day Evening: Starting with some tantalising Amuse Bouche, we will serve a full Turkey Roast with all the trimmings and a glass of Prosecco to boot (dietary alternatives will be provided)
Christmas Day Night: We can lay out any leftovers from lunch as is traditional for Christmas Day
Boxing Day Breakfast: A selection of cereals, toast, fruit, yoghurts and pastries will be available for you to enjoy.
Boxing Day Lunch: You will need your own packed lunches for our day walk or other activities. We may be limited on fridge space but be aware that its a fair drive to the nearest shop.....you could always use up any leftover buffet food from Christmas Eve :)
Boxing Day Dinner: We will prepare a quality three course meal for your delight, with dietary requirements catered for where required.
27th December Breakfast: A selection of cereals, toast, fruit, yoghurts and pastries will be available for you to enjoy.
