During a Youth Cancer Trust holiday, you can choose from a whole range of activities to take part in. Please don’t worry if you don’t feel like doing anything on your holiday. It is completely your choice. Tracy Ann House is calm and relaxing, with plenty of things to do to rest and relax if you don’t feel like going out on an activity.
It’s your space and your choice!
Here is a list of some of the activities you can take part in during your Youth Cancer Trust holiday…..
Arts & Crafts
Youth Cancer Trust now has an art room in the garden which is fully kitted out for groups to enjoy a bit of down time taking part in arts and crafts activities.
Thank you to Thomas Green & family, Laura Hartley, Emma Murphy, Derwent Pencils, Cass Art and everyone else who have all helped create this space.
Go Karting
The Youth Cancer Trust uses The Wessex Raceway, which is based near Salisbury. It has the second largest indoor track in the country.
Horse Riding
The Youth Cancer Trust takes groups to Arniss Equestrian based on the edge of the New Forest. The horses are lovely and quiet and lessons take part in the menage followed by a quiet hack in the Forest. After the riding, groups are allowed to explore the beautiful village of Burley and can enjoy a picnic amongst the ponies in the New Forest.

Groups can take part in a skiing lesson or have fun on the ringos.
