Your Week

Staying in our farm accommodation, you and a like minded group will live and cook together as well as participate in a full programme of activities. 

Our staff will help you bond as a group and support you so that you can make the most of your week with us. With a maximum group size of 16 people you will quickly get to know everyone and the range of activities will give everyone the chance to shine.

We use Mountain Bikes to access some of the activities allowing you to really appreciate the stunning local landscape. This means even the travel is part of the programme, enabling full and fun days outdoors. You don't need to be an experienced biker or bike fit, we will pace and tailor the cycling to make it suitable for all with ice cream for fuel!



The activities are not compulsory, however we can tailor most activities so that everyone finds an appropriate amount of "stretch".


On your final day there will be an opportunity to cook a pizza over a campfire.
