Exclusive Hire and Group Bookings

Meetings and Presentations

Our Dining and Event Space can be hired on a daily basis

Recently the Hostel hosted a Creative Arts Producer training course on behalf of Calderdale Council and Creative Calderdale and led by LVL/Up

20 delegates attended the one day session held in our Dining and Event Space. This space is fully flexible and can be set up as a formal meeting with room for projection screens and whiteboards. Alternatively it can be used in a more relaxed layout with sofas and small tables for group working.

Retreats and Workshops

The Hostel provides spaces for indoor and outdoor activities

The Hostel is ideal for health and wellbeing workshops and retreats with space for group activities and break out sessions, along with our outside terrace and extensive grounds.

From yoga and pilates to art, photography or foraging workshops we can help you plan your event at the Hostel or support you with accommodation offers for your participants.

Community and School Events

A relaxed and safe space for events and away-days

In July-August 2022 IOU produced and ran two 2-day activity programmes for local school children under the Healthy Holidays scheme. 27 children attended the retreat with an overnight stay and spent time on a range of indoor and outdoor activities.

The Hostel was closed for their exclusive use and the Dining Room and Snug used for yoga and storytelling and the kitchen for making healthy meals.


Group Bookings

We can accommodate large groups, families, artists, creatives and visitors at IOU Hebden Bridge Hostel. Please contact us at manager@hebdenbridgehostel.org and we will be happy to discuss availability and our group booking supplement.

We define a group booking as any booking of five rooms or over. If you make a group booking without first contacting us we reserve the right to cancel the booking without a refund.

As we are a small, family-friendly hostel, we are NOT able to accommodate large party groups such as stag or hen parties. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause but we would hate to ruin anyone’s fun by having to ask for quiet or being forced to cancel the booking.

Bicycles & Dogs

If you are hoping to bring a bicycle or dog please contact one of the team to discuss as we currently have a limited number of places available for cycles and allocated rooms for dogs.
