Class Updates

NO CLASS Tuesday 14^th February 2012

Unfortunately there will be no class on Tuesday 14^th February 2012.

Apparently there is a problem with the lights in there that needs sorting and the contractors will need to put scaffolding up to access them. Unfortunately the sports hall is booked so I am unable to offer other accommodation. Please can you arrange to train at another class that week: Monday at Beare Green, Thursday at Ashcombe School or Saturday at Dorking Sports Centre.

Recent Club News

More details coming soon I am just awaiting final confirmation on Hall hire...

The largest bedroom has sixteen beds, and the smallest has four.

For breakfast and evening meals, the hostel has a medieval style dining room that comfortably seats fifty people. 

Upstairs is a lounge, originally rumoured to be King John’s bedroom, which is fitted out with comfy armchairs, a games cupboard and library. Downstairs there is a smaller lounge located in the old kitchen of the castle, which has three sofas and an additional eating space.

Situated in the quiet village of St Briavels, the hostel overlooks the Wye Valley, and is located away from busy main roads. The main castle area is surrounded by the original castle walls, making St Briavels Castle extremely safe and secure.

YHA St Briavels has a fully stocked bar selling local ales, cider and a variety of wines and spirits. Please ask about our barrels of local ale and cider.
