Conferences
SYHA youth hostels can be used as inexpensive and unusual venues for conferences, seminars and training events.  Our hostels offer a unique combination of characterful buildings with a highly professional standard of service.

A number of our hostels have excellent conference facilities, with high quality audio-visual equipment provided as standard, and flexible catering services to suit your requirements. 

The hostels can accommodate groups of up to 150 in different formats, ranging from lecture-style conferences to multi-room seminars or workshops. Overnight accommodation can also be arranged, and a full catering service is available as part of our conference package.  We aim to be fully flexible in the service we offer to organisations, and can adapt the menu and timings to suit your particular requirements.

You can choose to hire just a conference room, or could instead hire the whole hostel as a RentaHostel so that you have exclusive use of the building and grounds for your group.

The hostels with conference facilities are:

Training Events
Hostels are also particularly well-suited to hosting training events – for desk-based, seminar or lecture style, or outdoor activity training.  You can choose to take over just the conference room, or the whole hostel and grounds.  Our hostel managers will help you to find local activity providers if required, and we have a mix of remote and city-based hostels for you to choose from. 

To arrange your conference or corporate activity
For advice on suitable locations, facilities on offer, and availability of conference services, please contact our Reservations department at reservations@syha.org.uk or telephone 08701 55 32 55 during office hours. 

If you know which hostel you would like to use, please contact the hostel manager direct to discuss your requirement and make a booking – full details are given on the individual hostel page.

Prices
Our hostels offer very good value conference facilities.  Prices for our conference and training facilities vary according to the hostel, the amount of space you need, your catering requirements and the number of people attending.  Our hostel manager will discuss your requirements with you and will give you a quotation for the services you require. 

Please check the terms and conditions for conference bookings.

Charity use of hostels  
As our prices tend to be lower than those of hotels and similar conference/training venues, they are particularly attractive to charities and small organisations with limited budgets.
