Hemel Hempstead is a large town in Hertfordshire, approximately 24 miles northwest of London. As one of the post-war new towns, Hemel Hempstead offers modern facilities and good transport connections to the capital.

The town features leisure facilities, entertainment venues, and public art installations throughout the new town centre. Its location provides convenient access to both London and the attractions of the Chiltern Hills.

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 Hemel Hempstead. See the group booking FAQs for the finer points.
