Child and family-friendly activities at Bewl Water Outdoor Centre this Easter and beyond

This Easter holiday, The Education People's Outdoor Learning team has some exciting COVID-safe opportunities for children, adults and family support bubble taking place at Bewl Water Outdoor Centre!

We have special sessions for children (suitable for those aged 10+) on archery and axe throwing, as well as family fun days (suitable for those aged 6+). All our activities are COVID-safe and a great way to have fun with peace of mind, outdoors.

In February 2021, our Bewl Water Outdoor Centre site was awarded “We’re Good To Go” status. The “We’re Good To Go” mark signals that a tourism and hospitality business has adapted their operations in line with respective Government and public health guidance and has a COVID-19 risk assessment in place to aid staff training, social distancing and cleanliness.

Our Activities Include:

Archery

Re-live the exploits of Robin Hood and become an expert marksman! Archery is a classic activity for all the family. Our qualified and experienced instructors will guide you through the difference between the 'knock', the 'boss' and the 'quiver'.

Axe Throwing

The modern sport of axe throwing involves a competitor throwing an axe at a target, attempting to hit the bullseye as near as possible. Surrounded in beautiful woodland you can experience what it is like to feel like a warrior!

Family Fun

This autumn we are offering a selection of activities suitable for the whole family. Book a morning or afternoon session and it will include two activities of your family’s choice.

• Challenge and Low Ropes course (suitable for ages 6+)
