Established in 1933, Yorkshire Friends Holiday School has grown and changed considerably over the years and now regularly hosts over 100 13-18 year olds each year. Initially it was created to give young Quakers who could not attend a Quaker School such as Ackworth, or The Mount, an opportunity to experience what life was like for a Quaker boarder. Our interactive sessions are a far cry from the \u2018lessons\u2019 provided in those days!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

YFHS has been held in a number of venues, including those schools mentioned above. Currently it has found its home at Bootham in York, which provides us with excellent accommodation and fantastic facilities.<\/p>\n

An archive of historic photos and information can be found in the members section. If you have been a participant before, please contact us for access.<\/p>\n
