Overview

Following the huge success of 2019 and the unfortunate postponement of 2020 we are thrilled to announce the 2021 Spice National Weekend Break at Denstone College is now available to book.

The English boarding school has an evocative appeal - whether you grew up with Billy Bunter, Harry Potter, St Trinian’s or Malory Towers. So we know you will just love the chance to spend a weekend with hundreds of Spice friends as “pupils” of one of the country’s finest Victorian Public Schools.

As well as being a really atmospheric location, it’s also a venue that can fulfil the main focus of a national weekend which is to bring Spice members together and have a lot of fun with friends old and new. Denstone College also offers much more such as plenty of FREE sports facilities and full board catering all of which are included in the package.

Saturday's party theme has been chosen and this is CIRCUS so let your imagination run wild As always there will be lots of you that think outside the box!!! We look forward to seeing your creations and ideas. You never cease to amaze us!

Location & Itinerary

Access to the accommodation is available from 2pm but you can arrive from 12 noon on Friday when lunch will be available from 1pm - 2pm while you wait for access to your room. There will be a Spice coordinator ready to meet and greet you on arrival with a big smile and a warm welcome. They will direct you either to the dining hall, if you are in time for lunch, or to your accommodation. After dropping your car off in one of the the car parks head inside, meet your roomies / house mates / coordinators etc. and then get ready for a party weekend.

As always, and in true Spice style, we have a party night on both the Friday and Saturday evening with the latter being themed on CIRCUS. This is very broad ranging and should therefore give you plenty of scope to choose from. Spicers have proven time and time again to be brilliant at thinking outside the box so we look forward to seeing your creations, whether they be home made or bought. We know you will all look FABULOUS!

The programme for 2021 is currently in the planning stages so more information will follow. Please keep checking back here to see any updates. Of course there will be some of the regular favourites making a reappearance including the Sports activities, Treasure Hunt, the popular Super Soaker Madness, Craft workshops, Circus Skills Workshops and much more.

The weekend finishes on Sunday and you will need to vacate your rooms by 11am but you can continue to socialise on site until 1.30pm. We will have some activities available on site on the Sunday morning to keep you occupied.

Alternatively there will be some other options that will take you off site. As always you can do as much or as little as you like. The choice is all YOURS!
