HF Holidays, Britain’s longest-running co-operative tour operator, is introducing a new group travel brochure for 2026 covering UK, Europe and worldwide group holidays.

HF Holidays has seen a sharp increase in demand for group travel post-Covid, with the walking holiday provider reporting a growth in group guest numbers; up 18%* in 2024 compared with 2022. More than 10,000 people travelled with HF Holidays as part of over 500 groups in 2024, with the specialist tour operator popular amongst group travel organisers in the UK and overseas, walking clubs and special interest groups. Looking ahead into 2025, its group guest numbers are set to surpass 2024, with worldwide holidays proving increasingly popular with group bookers. 

For groups of ten or more adults, HF Holidays offers a dedicated Account Manager who takes care of every detail of the trip and special savings such as a free place for every 15 adults and free room upgrades for group organisers at any of its 15 country houses across the UK. Groups can book onto HF Holidays’ wide range of programmed holidays or choose a self-guided walking break where they can arrange their own activities for complete flexibility. 

For larger groups, HF Country Houses – located in countryside and coastal beauty spots - can be hired out on an exclusive basis. The specialist tour operator’s country houses accommodate groups of between 30 guests and 100 depending on the scale; so there is a huge range to suit varying group sizes. 

Chris Simmonds, CEO, from HF Holidays explains: “We often get groups who book with us two to three times a year and return with us for several decades, however, we have also recently noted a lot of new groups booking through us which is great to see. We also work with UK and overseas tour operators – mainly Canada, US and Europe who book their groups on our scheduled holidays. Overseas guests enjoy the lovely British countryside, culture and the company of other fellow walkers and always rate our holidays highly.”

HF Holidays is holding 2025 prices on its 2026 group booking programme until 31 May, plus HF Holidays’ members save £30 per person on every break, alongside even more member benefits.
