Overview

We ran our first mid-week 4 night Anglesey trip in 2021 and everyone loved it and asked if we could run it again, so here it is for the 3rd year!

Why not join us for a fabulous mid-week break on Holy Island off Anglesey - we just love this area, the venue and everything it has to offer. It will involve exploring some of the most stunning coastal views on Anglesey (so don’t forget your camera). This four night trip will be a refreshing break with guided walks and local visits. The island is such a beautiful area, full of places for us to visit. Castles, beaches, shopping… you name it!

Our venue is a short walk from the beautiful coastline where there are quiet coves, rockpools and a little further on, a beautful sandy beach. The gorse seems to be in bloom all year round and there are wooded areas to explore or you can just relax onsite.

Early Bird Price. This event is on early bird pricing until the end of May 2023 when the price rises

Travel & Stay

Anglesey Mid Week Break (2)

On our trip to Anglesey, we will be staying at the 3 star Outdoor Alternative which has facilities designed for comfort all year round. The buildings are heated and well ventilated so our stay will be warm, fresh and relaxed.

For those in the hostel accommodation, there’s no need to worry about bedding since pillows, duvet & sheets are provided but obviously if you choose the camping option, please bring your own. Toilet, shower and wash room facilities are either ensuite or adjacent to the bedrooms and for those camping there are onsite facilities.

The rooms are of a good size taking 3 or 4 people and there is the option to pay a supplement for a double room share for couples. There is room to socialise in the dining room and conservatory and we will be putting up the event shelters so that we can hopefully dine and socialise outdoors too.

The facilities provide space for parking although there is a good chance we will be blocking each other in for those staying in the dormitories.

Getting There

What to bring: To ensure that you are properly equipped, please take a moment to read through the ‘What to bring list’ and ensure that you have the necessary clothing and equipment. 

Covid/Infection Guidance: As a matter of respect to other members when attending events, we ask that you take the following guidance into account.  People with symptoms of a respiratory infection, such as COVID-19, and who have a high temperature or do not feel well, should try to stay at home and avoid contact with others. Those who are asked – or choose to test – and get a positive COVID-19 result should try to stay at home and avoid contact with other people for 5 days following the day of their positive result. Normal Spice/Walkwise Terms & Conditions apply.

Travel Insurance: It is also recommended that when travelling on holiday or attending Spice weekends away in the UK or overseas that you have adequate travel insurance in case of emergency, cancellation, etc. Travel insurance is an important aspect to booking a weekend or holiday, giving you protection against unforeseen circumstances. We also strongly recommend a personal travel insurance policy that includes COVID-19 cover. While we cannot recommend specific insurance policies as everyone’s requirements are personal to them, Spice have linked up with market leader Staysure Travel Insurance which you may like to take a look at.
