Activity days

We can offer youth groups a great range of activites to achieve their goal - from an action-packed day to a more relaxed time away together to buiild or consolidate group relationships. 

Residentials

Youth groups have the option of staying with us at Brenscombe for a longer period of time. We can put together a programme for one or more nights according to your needs. We are flexible with the kind of accommodation we offer - indoors, camping on site using centre facilities or camping in more remote locations with fewer comforts. 

Expeditions

From a single day off site to several nights away we have the equipment and staff to support your expedition.

Brenscombe is the best professional activity centre I have visited, with beautiful surrounding countryside and fantastic outdoor activities, friendly, highly trained staff all ways willing to go the extra mile.

Tower Hamlets

Very supportive staff, who are very adaptable to the needs of the group.

City of Westminster

We have been coming for seven wonderful years. Brenscombe is a joy and pleasure to come back to each year.
