2026 Bookings and Prices

Please note we are taking Bookings for 2026 and beyond. The Price Lists for Accommodation and Activities has been updated in December 2025 and will apply from Jan 1st 2026 to Dec 31st 2026.

Having kept our 2025 Accommodation and Activity prices the same as our 2024 prices, it has been necessary to increase the charges from January 2026 for the Main Centre and Bunkhouse buildings for both overnight stays and sessions, mainly due to costs associated with ensuring we are compliant with current legislation and the need to replace the Main Centre Roof in the next 12 months.
We are always working hard to keep our prices low by having fixed rates energy deals and competitive quotes for service we have to buy in to comply with legislation.
The good news is that Camping Charges have been frozen for a third year.

On the horizon is a Visitor Tax which is being planned by the Welsh Government for April 2027 and would apply over 18 years overnight stays in all accommodations including our Scout Centre. We have made representations to the Welsh government both locally and nationally, together with Scouts Cymru and truly hope that Scouting, which is a voluntary organisation, is exempted from these proposals. Currently it is now down to the local County Council to decide if this will be implemented in Flintshire. Only time will tell and we will keep you updated.
We have a few energy saving initiatives installed within the buildings which saves us all money to keep those prices down. Visitors can also help by using less and re-cycling more.
In 2024 the Welsh Government made Commercial and Charity waste disposal fall in line with households in Wales by having to separate waste into recycling streams: General Waste, Paper and Cardboard, Mixed Re-cycling (Plastics and metal lids etc..), Glass, Food Waste. Gladstone Centre now has increased costs for disposing of Recycled Waste ongoing. We need to advise users of the Centre to ensure the correct materials are deposited into the correct recycle bins as per the instructions next to each bin in our buildings and also the larger recycle bins outside.
Help us to help you have a great Scouting experience at Gladstone!
