We've Won Best Residential Experience For The Second Year Running!

We are absolutely thrilled to have won the School Travel Awards’ ‘Best Residential Experience’ award for the second year running at a ceremony held at the Royal Garden Hotel in Kensington yesterday.

Winning this award goes a long way in confirming that we are raising the bar to provide the very best outdoor learning and adventure experiences for young people. We love what we do, and the whole team here were so pleased to receive this award. Thank you to everyone that voted for us.

In 2016, we were also very pleased to be finalist in the categories of 'Best Adventure Experience' and 'Best Venue for Science Learning'.

The School Travel Awards are organised by School Travel Organiser Magazine and recognise the best attractions, destinations, companies and practitioners in the field of educational travel and learning outside the classroom.

The awards ceremony took place the Royal Garden Hotel in Kensington, London on Thursday 9th November and was co-hosted by renowned television presenter Fiona Bruce.
