What does our venue offer for schools
A School Trip Organizer with a Difference
We know it can sometimes be difficult for schools to afford long residential trips and like you, we don’t think this should mean children miss out. Which is why we introduced our day trips, offering all the adventure of a residential trip, just packed into one unforgettable day!
Our activities are designed to connect them with nature, get involved, have adventures, learn bushcraft skills, have the freedom to explore, have fun and create lasting memories together.
We work together to ensure that every child is seen and heard during their time with us. We want them to come away feeling strong, resilient and empowered, having had the time of their lives.
