On-Site and Off-Site Activities

We’ve got a mix of on-site and off-site activities available to keep the energy high—from wild adventures in the hills and rivers to competive challenges back at base, there’s something for everyone to get stuck into.

On-Site Activities

There’s plenty to do without even leaving your base for the weekend. The spacious grounds of The Adventure House are perfect for getting stuck into some friendly competition while soaking up stunning Lake District views. Try your hand at axe throwing, test your aim with archery, or just enjoy the space to relax and reconnect between adventures. More activities are available on-site, just ask us what we currently have on offer when you book.

Off-Site Adventures

Want to venture further afield? Our off-site activities take full advantage of the Lake District’s epic landscapes. Go wild with ghyll scrambling, hit the water with kayaking and paddle boarding, challenge yourselves with raft building, or take things at your own pace with scenic guided walks. With our own buses to take to and from your activity location, all you need to do is be ready for adventure! Check out our full list of adventure activities.
