Affiliate Groups

Like Travelling? Enjoy the countryside? Want to meet new people? Love Youth Hostels? Then YHA Affiliate Groups are for you!

These are groups of like-minded people, who may be from the same locality or simply share the same hobby, who meet regularly to enjoy Youth Hostelling trips and other social activities. Have fun sharing everything from barbecues to slide shows, plus badminton, pub trips and much more!

If you would like more information call YHA on 01629 592700, email customerservices@yha.org.uk or view the list of groups below to see if there's one in your area.
