Team Buildling

Looking for something different? Want a peaceful place to get away from it all? Then this is for you. Packages can be tailor made to suit you and your budget. If you are looking to spend more than one day with us then we can suggest local accommodation. We offer activities such as Creative Willow, Raise the Roof, Environmental Games, Paper rolling and Construction and much more. We have so much to offer - why not come and find out more about us and what we have waiting to share with you.

The days start at £35 per person per day, including lunch and refreshments.

Sustainable Energy Demonstrations
We have working outdoor demonstrations of solar and wind power installations and a dedicated renewable energy demonstration trailer.

Research Activities
We have 40 hectares of capped landfill on which guest organisations carry out various research programmes relating to habitat creation - see Research

Nature Trail and Wildlife Education
Our site has an established nature trail which is full of wildlife interest. We also provide pond dipping and a well frequented bird feeding area and hide.

The developing chalk serpent butterfly meadow is full of butterfly interest during the summer months.
