Budget plus art accommodation opens
YHA Cotswolds opens a boutique hostel with arts charity
YHA Cotswolds has opened a boutique hostel owned by entrepreneurial arts Charity New Brewery Arts.
Known also as The Barrel Store, due to its original use as the barrel warehouse of Cirencester Brewery, the building has been transformed into versatile and comfortable accommodation with handcrafted furniture and detailing. It is also the first passivhaus (low carbon footprint building) in Gloucestershire and one of only a handful in the UK.
The prices, combined with the interior design and craft offering means YHA Cotswolds offers exciting new visitor accommodation unique not just to Cirencester and the Cotswolds, but to the UK.
YHA Cotswolds is designed as a base for visiting artists and residencies and for those coming to New Brewery Arts to take part in the hundreds of workshops offered each year.
Classes and workshops in a vast array of crafts, including pottery, willow weaving, textiles, painting and drawing and stone-carving, will be available to book as residential short breaks at the Youth Hostel.
It is hoped the combined Youth Hostel and craft concept will open up a new national and international audience to enhance and support the work of New Brewery Arts. Already YHA Cotswolds has attracted international bookings from South Korea and Australia ahead of opening in May.
Beth Alden CEO New Brewery Arts said: "We are thrilled to be opening The Barrel Store which will help our sustainability and extend and support our work with craft, making and creativity."
