How our flexible booking terms can work for you…
So, what does this look like in practice?
If you were to have a group of 40 paying students and 4 adults your holding deposit would be £1,500.
You then have up until 27th June 2025 to confirm your numbers.
Should your numbers drop to confirm 36 paying students, you will be within the 20% bracket avoiding any cancellation charge.
With dates for 2026 already filling fast, don’t miss your opportunity to bag your school’s adventure!
Please note, the ‘Flexible Booking Terms & Conditions‘ are available on school residential bookings which are made between 14 January 2025 and 30 April 2025 (inclusive) for departure dates between 1 February 2026 and 14 November 2026 (inclusive)
In the event your group cancellations exceed the threshold, there will be a 20% charge against the holding deposit already paid. Should you wish to cancel your entire booking, your full holding deposit will be retained. From this stage, any further cancellations will be applied using our standard terms and conditions found here
