Frequently asked
Questions for Uniforms

Can I request specific accommodation for our uniform group?

If you’d like a specific accommodation block for your uniform group to stay in, express your preference at the point of booking. Please note that your first choice may not always be possible, particularly during busy seasons.

What happens if it rains?

If the weather lets us down, we have contingency plans to ensure your uniform group still has fun!

Can you cater to different dietary requirements?

Of course. Just let us know about dietary requirements and allergies we need to be aware of before your trip.

Are meals included in a residential trip at Kingswood?

Yes. Breakfast, lunch and dinner is catered for, and snacks are available to buy from the on-site shops.

Who will supervise the uniform groups?

A responsible adult will always be present with each group, including a qualified instructor where appropriate.

Can my uniform group work towards badges on their trip?

Yes. Just let us know what your group is working towards, and we can tailor activities to ensure those badges get earned.

What activities are available at Kingswood?

There are so many, we couldn’t possibly list them all here! Each centre offers roughly 50 activities, though these differ depending on centre size and geographical location. Take a look at all the activities your group could get involved in.

Why book a residential trip for your uniform group?

Team building, life skills and fun underpin any uniform group, which marry up perfectly with the ambition of our residential activity trips.

Do we get lunch on departure day?

Yes. All guests get a packed lunch on departure and a hot option can be provided at an extra cost.

Can we request a specific accommodation building?

We are happy to take requests for specific accommodation blocks but we cannot offer any guarantees (unless specifically confirmed at time of booking), especially in peak periods. Your group may be sharing an accommodation block with other groups but we will endeavour to keep groups on separate floors and corridors.
