Are you planning a school residential trip that is both enjoyable and budget-friendly? At YMCA, we appreciate that organising a residential can be a challenge – albeit rewarding – which is why we have created our new discount to ease the financial burden on schools and their families. We are pleased to introduce our special offer for bookings between November 2026 and March 2027.

 

What is it?

New groups, who haven’t attended Fairthorne Manor before, can take advantage by booking 3 days for the price of 2. This means, that groups will receive a 33% discount on a 3-night residential visit. As well as this, the usual free staff member for every 12 young people offer applies.Together, these offers mean that schools can manage all costs for staff and families.

 

Where is it?

Fairthorne Manor is a 95-acre site in Hampshire, boasting indoor and outdoor activities such as kayaking, abseiling, orienteering, and axe throwing. The wide range of activities on offer support children’s development, encourage teamwork, and build confidence. Residential trips at Fairthorne Manor invite children to grow whilst having fun – now without stretching the budget.

 

How to enquire

If you’re currently mapping out your academic year or looking for ways to make your residential budget go further, this offer provides both value and impact. It’s an opportunity to give pupils a meaningful, character-building experience while keeping costs manageable for your school community.
