Mill on the Brue Residential Outdoor Activity Centre Somerset

The award winning Centre was established in 1982 and is based round a farm house and buildings in 25 acres of beautiful woods, fields and river valley. The only outdoor centre in the world we believe to have it’s own vineyard! It is a family run Centre and we aim to give every visitor the best outdoor experience they have ever had. There are many exciting, fun and challenging outdoor pursuits with a strong emphasis on team work and the environment.

We feel we are very different from most centres in our holistic approach both to our visitors and the environment. We try to keep the gardens as attractive as possible, growing all our plants organically. We have planted 10,000 native trees throughout the estate, reinstated hedgerows, and have rare breed sheep, pigs, a Shetland pony, a donkey, chickens and bee hives. We have a strong environmental ethos and have held the Gold Green Business Award for six years.

We are a small family run centre and sleep up to 134 students residentially.  Our customers really matter and we want to make sure that everyone who comes to our centre feels well looked after.  The school groups can do all the activities onsite which means they have a very full and varied programme with at least five activities in a day taken by experienced and qualified instructors who stay with the same group for the whole visit. The meals are delicious, with much of the fruit and vegetables grown organically in the gardens, and the bedrooms are comfy and warm.

We have had schools returning for over 25 years. Because we are not a large Centre many teachers say that it is like coming home and they are delighted to see familiar faces every year. (Our return rate is over 90%)

We can sleep up to 124 students.

The Main House sleeps 28 + 12 in the Garden Cabins 40

The Clubhouse sleeps 50

Rivermead sleeps 34

Our Campsite from May – September can sleep up to 70 students

This is up to the Party Leader regarding photos while groups are here.  Any of our literature and photos does have copywrite restrictions.

We can provide a Risk Assessment from the minute you come of the coach to the minute you depart.

My son came to Mill on the Brue with Marksbury School last week.  I just wanted to say a huge thank you!  He is normally a very fussy eater but informs me that he ate broccoli, cauliflower and sqaush!  He also said that he had 3 portions and the last bits of the delicious tomato pasta!  (Do you have a recipe for this?) 
He has talked non stop since he came back about the amazing time that he had.  
He has agreed to continue trying new food and have veggies on his plate!  He only wishes that you could come and cook school dinners every day!

I just wanted to message and Thankyou guys for having my daughters class with you yesterday she had the most amazing time! We were so glad that they still got to enjoy a fun filled day of activities instead of what should have been a week. The roast at dinner time was highly regarded as well with 3 servings of the main and 2 desserts, my daughter was very happy! She loved all the activities and jumping in the river as well which she said was very cold but so much fun. So all in all she had the most amazing day making memories. Thankyou!!
