What to Expect
Day 1
Arrival begins with checking in from 15:00 by one of our friendly Customer Experience team members. You will then have the chance to settle in for a while and meet some of the other families staying with us before sitting down for dinner.
After dinner, you will have the opportunity to take part in an evening activity before having some time to relax in the evening or get an early night ready for a day of adventure.
Day 2
Wake up early for a hot cooked breakfast to help you prepare for the day, before taking part in your pre-scheduled activities to suit your families’ requirements and choices.
Stop for a hot lunch with salad bar before going back out and finishing off your tailored activity programme.
After an afternoon of activities, take a break and have a more relaxing dinner, before another evening of optional activities.
Day 3
This is a more relaxed day, so after breakfast, find some time to explore the grounds at your own pace or you can drop into a programme of various taster activities that will be available to you.
One final meal with your new friends and then it’s time to say goodbye, having had a memorable weekend.

Case Study
A Very Special Weekend for us All
“We wanted to say a huge thank you for a wonderful weekend – we thoroughly enjoyed all the activities and food and it was great to see both boys having such fun away from any kind of screen. Being able to use the Boma made all the difference to our son, allowing him full access to the whole site and allowing him to even join us on the mountain biking session. Thank you again – it was a very special weekend for us all and a lovely chance to spend time together as a family.”
“You don’t feel marginalised in any way”
Take a look at Phab Charity visiting our site for an accessible break where 56 young people, volunteers and parents, joined together for a week of inclusive outdoor activities.
The idea of Phab was born during a National Association of Youth Clubs holiday conference, held in 1957 on site with us! The conference was for young people aged between 15 and 18 and included a young disabled man called Terry Rolfe who asked for “opportunity, not pity for disabled people”, and that they should be given a chance to share in a programme of exciting activities on equal terms with non-disabled people.
