Questions
Activities are included in your booking, not as an add-on. What you pay depends on your group size, how long you are staying and what you want to do. The easiest way to work it out is to get in touch, and we will go from there.
Most of our activities are open to ages 8 and above. If you are bringing younger children, some newer activities can be arranged for them too. Just let us know at the time of booking, and we will check what is available for your group.
We adapt around the group. If a student needs a slower pace, a smaller group or a quieter setting, we work around that. Schools usually bring their own SEN staff, and we work alongside them. No student should feel left out, and we do our best to ensure that does not happen.
The activities we offer are not only available to corporate groups but also to educational trips, families, and private stays. From high ropes and bushcraft to water activities and team challenges, everything is included in your stay at Hilston Park.
Every activity within Hilston Park is run by qualified instructors who brief the group before anything starts. The right equipment is provided, and someone always stays with the group.
