Bridgend is a market town in South Wales, situated between Cardiff and Swansea. The town serves as a gateway to the beautiful Glamorgan Heritage Coast and offers a blend of retail amenities and natural attractions.
The surrounding area features excellent country parks, nature reserves, and coastal scenery. Bridgend provides a convenient base for exploring the natural beauty of South Wales while enjoying modern shopping and leisure facilities.
What group leaders need to know
Every group is quoted individually, because centre, dates and numbers all move the price. The practical arrangements are the same wherever your group stays.
Students stay with host families in twos, threes and fours. Group leaders and other adults travelling with the group can have single rooms if any are free when you book.
We suggest full board: breakfast and dinner at the family’s table, and a packed lunch to take out for the day. Half board, without the packed lunch, is also an option.
A local organiser is at the meeting point each morning and evening. Students are handed over between host families and group leaders with someone responsible present both times.
Airport transfers can be arranged for the whole group by taxi, minibus or coach. Ask for a quotation when you enquire.
Hosts who take students under 18 are DBS checked, and our safeguarding policies cover every group placement.
Larger groups pay less per person. A deposit of 20% of the total or £500, whichever is higher, holds the booking. The balance is due 28 days before arrival.
Send us your dates, group size and anything the group needs, and we will come back with a quote for Bridgend. See the group booking FAQs for the finer points.
