Engaging outdoor educational experiences balancing safety, fun, learning and challenge
Established in 1992, thousands of children and young people have visited Brenscombe with the majority of schools returning to us each year. Our residentials are second to none, with capacity for groups of up to 160 to stay on-site in various accommodation packages. We also offer both stand alone and a series of progressive day experiences.
