School Trip & Group Educational Information Introduction for school trips and educational visits Pioneer Conference & Activity Centre has been providing accommodation for education groups and courses since 1991. The Centre offers an unrivalled quality of all en-suite accommodation for groups of 12 to 300 with a selection of private lounges and meeting rooms of all sizes. Being wholly owned by the registered charity Northamptonshire Association of Youth Clubs (Reg Charity No. 803431) we have over 45 years of experience in serving the needs of youth and education groups. Why is this venue great for School Trips and Educational Visits? With the refurbishment of Forest Lodge planned for the winter of 2008/09 and the completion of the 3,000m² Gilmour Lodge in 2005 Pioneer Centre has been uniquely designed to meet the needs of one or a number of groups at the same time whilst ensuring privacy and security. All rooms are en-suite with the majority of rooms sleeping a maximum of 4 people and only a few rooms sleeping 5. Indoor sports hall and fully qualified instructor team allow for individual activities to be incorporated into your stay if required right through to a full-on adventure programme or team-building course. If you are looking for a high standard of facilities for your class away day or residential course at a price that represents fantastic value for money, there really is nowhere else like Pioneer Centre in the UK.

Full board accommodation in en-suite bedrooms, meeting and break-out rooms of various sizes allocated according to the size of your group, private lounges, youth friendly staff team, instructed adventure activities available if required, easily accessible only 33 miles from central Birmingham, 40 minutes from the Midlands motorway network and 2 hrs from the M25.
