SO
much more
a holiday
than just
so many ways, our holidays are a very special u In kind of fun.
For a start, they’re real adventures that are just for children. They get to try amazing activities and laugh with new friends and old, in the place that matters most – the great outdoors. They gain new experiences and a whole lot of self-confidence. Challenge themselves. And yes, enjoy some independence and grow up a bit too.
You’ve got to spread your wings before you can fly. For most, it’s their first time staying away from home and that’s what makes a PGL holiday special too. We understand that taking that first step as a parent can be daunting but we know the rewards are worth it. That’s why we believe ‘adventure matters’ and why we’d love you and your children more than ever to join the adventure in 2018.
See it, hear it, explore it for yourself. The best way to understand what makes us special is to come and visit one of our centres yourself. Because that’s asking a lot, we’ve created this brochure and our website packed with information, photos, videos and virtual tours to bring what we do to life.

“They are doing what children should be doing - having fun, challenging themselves and getting muddy!” Dr. Day
think it’s important that you know who we u We are and what we’re all about. We’ve been pioneers of children’s adventure for over 60 years and we set the standards in what we do. We’ve welcomed thousands of schools, groups, families and children to PGL over the years and given every single person an adventure to remember. In fact, last year more than 350,000 children came to our centres and that number is growing all the time.
Safety is our number 1 priority. We always put safety at the heart of everything we do. We have invested heavily in our adventure centres, to ensure we are leading the field with the best quality equipment, activities and safety gear you’ll find. We don’t rest on our laurels, constantly developing and expanding all of our centres, making sure every area exceeds your expectations.
First class reputation. We are proud of everything we do. Whether it’s our highly trained staff that will teach your children new skills and care for their wellbeing, or offering the best choice of centres and activities, PGL standards are second to none. We believe in children and understand just how much adventure matters in life. These deeply held values have stayed with us since we were founded in 1957 and we don’t intend to change them any time soon.

Mr. Linforth
Adventure awaits… go and find it! Our centres are in a class of their own. Each one is completely unique yet they all have one great thing in common – they are built specifically for children’s adventures.
Spoilt for choice. Our holidays all take place at centres across the UK and France. There’s a whole range to choose from including our traditional countryside camps, waterside retreats, woodland centres or even on the beach! Some centres are small and homely, perfect for our younger guests, whilst others are much bigger with hundreds of acres of outdoor space to explore! All of them are filled with purpose-built activity bases, including climbing towers, zip wires, giant swings and lots more. We take huge pride in all of our fantastic centres. That’s why we constantly invest in them to ensure they always meet your high standards. We strive to make each and every child feel comfortable and safe when they visit us. We employ a fully qualified and committed team to run our centres and we only use the highest standard safety equipment on each activity we offer.

WHAT A
difference makes a year
holidays and age groups are designed to suit u Our every child.
“Giving your child freedom and independence in a safe, supportive environment where they can explore their own boundaries and have fun, is an opportunity that should not be missed. Adventure, adrenaline and achievement abound!” Ms. Jackson
Every year we welcome thousands of children to our adventure centres and it’s fair to say, we understand more than most how different every child is. That’s why we work in small age groups that create good group dynamics, but also allow for the youngest or oldest in each age range to overlap adjacent age groups, so you can choose what’s best suited to your children. It’s also why we’ve developed over 25 different holidays to suit every interest, passion and personality.
Our age groups:
H
We keep an extra eye on all our youngest guests but 7-10 they are usually the most reluctant to leave by the end!
H
We encourage more self-reliance in our busiest age group, with the widest choice of holidays.
10-13
H
As you’d expect, our teams allow more freedom but also know where to draw the boundaries too.
13-16
H
H
On our overseas adventures we operate slightly wider 9-13 13-17 age groups so even more kids can enjoy the fun! Read on to explore our holidays (p14-29) and centres (p30-45).

introductory adventures
Whilst our 7 night holidays are the most popular choice, not everyone can find time to fit in a full week of adventure. That’s where our various Mini Breaks come in, to suit everyone’s diaries and budgets. Same great Multi Activity formula in ‘bite-size’ options.
What are Introductory Adventures?
Once you try one of our adventures, you’ll want to come back again and again! That’s why our ‘Introductory Adventures’ have been specially created for children who haven’t been to PGL before. A unique ‘first taste’ of all the exciting benefits a PGL holiday can offer in a shorter format and lower price than our other Multi Activity holidays.
• 4 nights (Tues-Sat) An adventure packed Mini Break ideal if you can’t make a full week, offering a convenient weekend pickup.
You’ll still enjoy three days of our original Multi Activity programme but everyone else in your group will be new too and you’ll only be away from home for two nights. You can discover what you enjoy most, what you’re good at and challenge yourself each day and leave wanting to come back for more!
• 4 nights (Mon-Fri) Five full-on days in our most activity packed four night Mini Break. The most activities you can pack in if you can’t make a full week!
When can I do this holiday?
Amazing value
Our Multi Activity Mini Breaks run at most centres in most of the school holiday periods, although they are very popular during the shorter school holidays, outside of the summer months. For full details check out our centre pages 30-45.
We offer these holidays on specific dates at several of our centres, mostly in the Easter, May and October holiday periods. They tend to book up quickly so make sure you call us soon.

Lord Charles Hunt collected many treasures during his lifetime and recorded them all in his diary. Mysteriously, when he died, his most prized and valuable treasure, the Pharaoh’s Pyramid Puzzle, could not be found and is still missing today.
Learn and improve your riding skills throughout the week and help with grooming and looking after your pony too. Our original Horse Riding holiday is a mix of school based riding (a short coach ride away) plus a mix of multi activities. Our ‘pro’ holiday is for more experienced riders and is all about riding and caring for your horse all day, every day. It also offers trekking through the beautiful Brecon Beacons!
Mysterious inscriptions found in the Pharaoh’s tomb told of magical forces locked deep within the Pyramid Puzzle. Beware, because if the puzzle ever falls into the hands of the followers of Ghoulah, the inscriptions warn of impending doom! In order to prevent this, pieces of the Pyramid have been scattered around the Boreatton Park Estate and have lain hidden for nearly 150 years. However, the inscriptions warned that after 150 years the followers of Ghoulah would return to look for the Pyramid. It must not be allowed to fall into their hands, which is where you come in...

surfing
Your mission, should you choose to accept it…
Take on the challenges that the surf throws at you on this exhilarating holiday that will have you surfing like a pro in no time! With our awesome instructors you’ll cover all the surfing basics – paddling out, catching, riding and leaving a wave. Before you know it you’ll be getting up and riding, and we promise you’ll never forget the feeling you get when you catch your first wave! You will also get to try a mix of our fantastic multi activities back at the centre too.
What will I have to do?
You will learn spy skills such as forensics (finger printing and hair analysis), communications (signals, code making and breaking) and surveillance as well as taking part in activities such as abseiling and climbing to demonstrate your new skills. For the 10-13 age group your training culminates in a 24 hour camp-out operation, where you will learn to construct a shelter, build and light a fire and cook food.
Do I need any experience or equipment?
No, you don’t need any surfing experience or specialist equipment, although you will need to be able to swim at least 50 metres and be confident in the water. We will send you a basic kit list before you travel and apart from that we will provide everything you need including boards and wetsuits.

A small number of rooms sleep eight to ten children. All rooms in the grounds will be en-suite and those in the main house will all have bathrooms close by.
Until last year, the manor was a renowned international school and has many existing facilities as a result, including a boatyard, tennis courts, dining room and plenty of indoor space. After briefly opening to PGL guests last summer, it will be re-opening in an even bolder form in Spring 2018, with many exciting further additions and improvements. There will be a new dining room in the historic clock tower building, refurbished and en-suite accommodation in the grounds and updated rooms in the main house. We’re also filling Bawdsey Manor with even more purpose-built activities, including abseiling, buggy build and more.

What facilities are there?
Set in 48 acres of woodland on the banks of Wootton Creek, and with log cabin style accommodation, it would be easy to confuse Little Canada with the country from which it draws inspiration. Locations don’t come much better than this and we also have private access direct to the water from our seafront. There are loads of different activities to try on land and on the water or if you really want to make the best of this location then try our Wet & Wild holiday (see p20).
Many of our log cabins have recently been updated and refurbished. Most rooms sleep four to six children and have their own bathroom. The cabins are grouped together in small villages. 7-10’s usually stay in our cosy Woodland House, situated in the grounds with en-suite rooms.

Along with the fantastic outdoor facilities, Osmington Bay has great indoor facilities including climbing walls, a large sports hall and a spacious activity zone. Watersports take place just a short coach journey away on the nearby Isle of Portland, at the facility where the 2012 Olympic sailing events were held.

Sea views over Weymouth
Osmington Bay is set in 45 acres of grounds with its own access to a beautiful pebble beach and cliff top views. The first thing you’ll notice is the huge ropes course with its zip wire and the stunning views of Weymouth and Portland. This is one of our biggest centres with superb facilities, great watersports and other activities. With a great range of holidays to choose from and suitable for all age groups, this is a popular centre for both first time and repeat guests.
We have a fantastic range of activities including multiple climbing and abseiling towers, high and low ropes courses, an archery range, giant swing and our very own creek for dragon boating and other watersports. We also use the beach, just a short walk away, for canoeing, kayaking and many of the activities on the Wet & Wild holiday. Our centre also boasts a sports hall for indoor activities, a tunnel trail and exclusive to Little Canada, the Mysterious Matrix.

Set in ‘Big Tree Country’
What’s it like?
It’s a fantastic forested site by the River Tay, at the heart of Perthshire’s ‘Big Tree Country’. As well as having all the usual exciting PGL multi activities, this is our only centre with a 75ft tree climb. There is also a cat walk, which will test your balance high above the ground and a huge double zip wire. The wildlife in this unspoilt area is also incredible and if you are lucky you may see the elusive red squirrel or even leaping salmon.
Unique 75ft tree climb
Most of the activities are on-site and are hidden within the woodlands all around the centre – making the most of the forest environment. Waterbased activities take place on our purpose-built on-site lake. The main building was once the summer home of Beatrix Potter and many of her stories were said to be inspired by this idyllic location.
What’s the accommodation like?
All guests sleep in the purpose-built lodges or our converted stable block in the grounds which have four to ten beds and their own showers and toilets.

What’s it like?
Winmarleigh Hall is conveniently located an hour from Manchester and Liverpool and three hours from Glasgow. The Forest of Bowland lies nearby, which is a designated Area of Natural Beauty. Built around the original main house, Winmarleigh Hall was formerly a spectacular traditional Victorian estate. Set in 50 acres of gardens, parkland and woodland, the building retains many original features. Its large rooms and sturdy construction make it ideal for groups of children. The centre is small enough to have a homely feel, but large enough to explore and experience a range of fantastic activities!
What facilities are there?
There’s a huge range of our classic multi activities here, all are on-site and spread throughout the wooded and open areas of the centre’s grounds. Alongside the main building, a more modern building houses the indoor games rooms and additional accommodation. The centre also has its own private lake – ideal for watersports!
What’s the accommodation like?
Rooms at Winmarleigh Hall are either in the main house or the adjacent modern accommodation block. All accommodation is en-suite and rooms sleep four to ten guests.

Set in ‘Big Tree Country’
What’s it like?
It’s a fantastic forested site by the River Tay, at the heart of Perthshire’s ‘Big Tree Country’. As well as having all the usual exciting PGL multi activities, this is our only centre with a 75ft tree climb. There is also a cat walk, which will test your balance high above the ground and a huge double zip wire. The wildlife in this unspoilt area is also incredible and if you are lucky you may see the elusive red squirrel or even leaping salmon.
Unique 75ft tree climb
Most of the activities are on-site and are hidden within the woodlands all around the centre – making the most of the forest environment. Waterbased activities take place on our purpose-built on-site lake. The main building was once the summer home of Beatrix Potter and many of her stories were said to be inspired by this idyllic location.
What’s the accommodation like?
All guests sleep in the purpose-built lodges or our converted stable block in the grounds which have four to ten beds and their own showers and toilets.

En-suite accommodation
What’s it like?
Winmarleigh Hall is conveniently located an hour from Manchester and Liverpool and three hours from Glasgow. The Forest of Bowland lies nearby, which is a designated Area of Natural Beauty. Built around the original main house, Winmarleigh Hall was formerly a spectacular traditional Victorian estate. Set in 50 acres of gardens, parkland and woodland, the building retains many original features. Its large rooms and sturdy construction make it ideal for groups of children. The centre is small enough to have a homely feel, but large enough to explore and experience a range of fantastic activities!
What facilities are there?
There’s a huge range of our classic multi activities here, all are on-site and spread throughout the wooded and open areas of the centre’s grounds. Alongside the main building, a more modern building houses the indoor games rooms and additional accommodation. The centre also has its own private lake – ideal for watersports!
What’s the accommodation like?
Rooms at Winmarleigh Hall are either in the main house or the adjacent modern accommodation block. All accommodation is en-suite and rooms sleep four to ten guests.

“As a parent you’re left fee ling relaxed and reassured your children are safe and will enjoy themselves.”
Mrs. Bees
parent guide
Welcome to PGL We know that any parent wants their child to grow up having had the freedom to explore, the opportunity for adventure and the encouragement to push their boundaries - to unlock their potential and discover just how much they are capable of! But at the same time, we understand that you’re bound to have worries and want to protect them – that’s only natural, as parents it’s in our job description! With over 60 years’ experience, and as the UK’s leading children’s adventure holiday company, we’ve been working hard since 1957 to perfect our adventure holiday formula for children - to deliver the right balance between freedom and adventure, and care and protection.
Our beginnings Back in 1957, Peter Gordon Lawrence bought a folding canvas canoe and set off down the Danube. He loved this experience so much he wanted to share it. Returning home, he began leading groups of young adults on canoe camping trips down the River Wye – and PGL was born! Peter’s passions still live on today, in a growing and thriving organisation and the generations of children who have benefitted from what he began over 60 years ago.
Today our holidays still reflect that passion – exciting, full of fun, shared with new friends and enjoyed with laughter but they are also challenging, confidence building and rich learning experiences. They give children the chance to step away from a busy, technology-based world, offering real adventures, in inspiring, safe environments, making memories to last a lifetime. We think that’s what childhood should be all about and what gets the balance right for everyone involved.
What we offer
• Dedicated staff • First class reputation • Purpose-built adventure centres for children • Tailored holidays for different age ranges • Small group sizes so every child feels comfortable In our brochure you’ll find all the most important things we get asked about but you’ll find even more information on our website, along with videos and customer reviews. We appreciate there’s always a lot to consider when you’re a parent and we hope you find it helpful. We’re looking forward to welcoming you this year.

Fully trained and highly skilled, it’s our team that make PGL holidays so popular and successful - parents and children tell us so!
PGL Holiday Consultants – at your call
To maintain our standards of excellence we select only the very best of the thousands of candidates who apply every year. We assess them according to their previous work with children, entertainment skills, personality and activity qualifications and experience. Naturally all staff members are DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service, formerly CRB) checked. Additionally, all new appointments are on probation for their first two to four weeks, and continually assessed to ensure they meet our high standards. PGL’s commitment to staff training and development is unsurpassed. Our staff must be adept at bringing out the very best in children, while keeping them safe and happy - we ensure each one is trained and equipped with the skills, knowledge and attitude to give your children the time of their lives.

be insured - key information It is important that everyone travelling with PGL has holiday insurance. Experience has shown that standard policies do not cover all our activities, e.g. motorsports, abseiling and rifle shooting. For your protection, therefore, we have arranged a special policy with Union Reiseversicherung AG. PGL insurance includes the following benefits as long as claims fall within the terms and conditions of the policy: • Cover for all activities organised by PGL • Personal accident up to £25,000 Some benefits are reduced for under 16s • Medical and other expenses up to £5 million for overseas holidays and up to £10,000 (other expenses only) for the UK • Cancellation charges up to the cost of the holiday (maximum £5,000) • Luggage up to £1,500. Single item £250. Valuables limit £250 • Personal money up to £200 • Personal liability up to £1 million • Curtailment of activities at £20 per day in summer or a pro rata refund of the ski pack (lessons, lift pass and ski school) in winter (both up to a maximum of £240) • Delay compensation, up to the invoice total for abandonment of overseas holidays. Compensation after 12 hours delay is £20
Full details of our insurance cover can be found on our website or can be sent to you upon request. Please note that cancellation cover comes into force when you pay the appropriate premiums. One premium will cover two or more consecutive holiday weeks per child. Non consecutive weeks require separate premiums. Most of the above sections are subject to £35 excess (up to £250 excess for legal expenses). Please read the Key Insurance Facts over the page. Clients not purchasing our insurance will be asked to complete an Insurance Indemnity Form issued on the advice of ABTA. DURATION

Be Insured - key facts Policy Excesses: Under most sections of the policy, claims will be subject to an excess. This means that you will be responsible for paying the first part of the claim. The amount you have to pay is called the excess. Reasonable Care: You need to take all reasonable care to protect yourself and your property as if you were uninsured, otherwise your claim may be refused. Complaints: The insurance policy includes a Complaints Procedure which tells you what steps you can take if you wish to make a complaint. Dangerous Sports or Pastimes: If you are going to take part in dangerous sports or pastimes where there is a risk of injury, check that your policy covers you. All activities officially organised and implemented by PGL are covered. Policy Document: This gives full details of what is not covered and conditions of the cover. A copy will be sent to you on booking, or earlier on request. Law: The Insurance Policy will be subject to the law of England and Wales unless otherwise agreed. Please ensure you read your insurance policy carefully. Failure to comply with the terms and conditions of the policy may result in cover being restricted. PGL are an Appointed Representative of Fogg Travel Insurance Service Limited who with the Insurers are authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority.
the small print Please take time to read the following terms and conditions carefully. They are the basis of the contract between yourself and PGL. A contract will exist between us when we have taken your booking and required payment. You will then automatically receive a confirmation/invoice detailing exactly what has been booked. If you think anything is incorrect please contact us straight away. All correspondence will be with the person named on the confirmation invoice who accepts the following conditions on behalf of all participants. The contract between us is governed by English Law and any dispute will be dealt with under the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales. Any monies paid to an appointed agent will be held by the agent for PGL until they are paid over to PGL. Your final payment and travel tickets The balance of your account is payable not later than 12 weeks before holiday commencement. If payment is not made by the due date, we reserve the right to advise you of the cancellation of your holiday booking and make a cancellation charge at the appropriate rate. Full payment must accompany bookings made within 12 weeks of departure. The Package Travel, Package Holidays, and Package Tours Regulations 1992 require us to provide security for the monies that you pay for the holiday booked from this brochure and for repatriation in the event of our insolvency. We provide this security by way of a bond held by ABTA. Changing your booking or travel If, after you have confirmed your booking, you wish to

The date of effective cancellation is calculated on the day of receipt of written advice in our Reservations Department. Travel costs are forfeited unless written cancellation is received more than 14 days prior to holiday commencement. Your PGL holiday insurance may cover the cost of cancellation. If in doubt don’t hesitate to contact our brokers, Fogg Travel Insurance Services, on 01623 631 331. Any compliments, complaints or feedback If there is any problem with the holiday, we want to put this right for you as soon as possible. Please ask your child to mention it to their Group Leader/Courier/ Centre Manager straightaway. Alternatively, we will be pleased to make a phone available, so your child can speak with you if this is preferable. We would ask you to make immediate contact with either the centre or Head Office in Ross-on-Wye. If we have been unable to find a solution, you have 28 days from the end of your holiday to write to us to explain your grievance. Please email feedback@pgl.co.uk. If you are still unhappy, your complaint may be referred to arbitration under a special scheme arranged by the Association of British Travel Agents in conjunction with the Institute of Arbitrators. This scheme provides for a simple and inexpensive method of arbitration on documents alone, with restricted liability on a customer in respect of costs. The scheme does not apply to claims for an amount greater than £5,000 per person. There is also a limit of £25,000 per booking. Neither does it apply to claims which are solely or mainly in respect of physical injury or illness or the consequences of such injury or illness. The scheme can however deal with compensation claims involving minor injury or illness, subject to a limit of £1,000 per person. Application for arbitration must be made within 9 months of return from holiday. Further details can be supplied by ABTA on request. Their address is: 30 Park Street, London SE1 9EQ.
(important – please read)
make any alterations, an administration charge of £25 will be made per amendment. Any such amendment may be telephoned to PGL in the first instance but must be confirmed in writing immediately thereafter by emailing holidays@pgl.co.uk. However, if a major amendment is requested less than 8 weeks prior to the starting date of the holiday, we reserve the right to treat your request as a cancellation and charge the appropriate cancellation fee as detailed below. In order that all our staff have the correct information we cannot accept additions or alterations to travel arrangements within 7 days of the commencement of the holiday. If we are forced to make changes, PGL will do its utmost to provide all of the arrangements that have been confirmed, but must reserve the right to alter or cancel any activities, accommodation or other arrangements, including escorted travel, if operational, weather or other considerations so dictate. If we have to make a major change to your holiday, we will offer a suitable alternative if available, or 100% refund, if we are not able, in our opinion, to offer an alternative that is sufficiently comparable. Compensation will be paid as below if we have to make a major change to your holiday within 8 weeks of holiday commencement, unless the change is due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to war, riot, civil commotion, act of God, industrial dispute, Government action, epidemic, disease, adverse weather or natural disaster. • 56-29 days – 10% of holiday price • 28-15 days – 15% of holiday price • 14 days or less – 25% of holiday price
The price of your holiday is subject to surcharge due to unforeseen increases in fuel costs, Government action such as increases in VAT or any other Government imposed increases or adverse currency exchange rate variations. Even in this case, we will absorb an amount equivalent to 2% of the holiday price which excludes insurance premiums and any amendment charges. Only amounts in excess of this 2% will be surcharged but, where a surcharge is payable, there will be an administration charge of £1 together with an amount to cover agents’ commission where relevant. If this means paying more than 10% of the holiday price, you will be entitled to cancel your holiday with a full refund of all money paid except for any premium paid to us for holiday insurance and amendment charges. Should you decide to cancel because of this, you must exercise your right to do so within 14 days from the issue date printed on the surcharge advice. The prices of our holidays abroad have been fixed according to an exchange rate of 1.13 euros to £1 as published in the Financial Times on 1st December 2017. You will be notified 8 weeks before departure if a surcharge is due on your holiday. Cancelling your holiday or travel If you find that you cannot take your PGL holiday and have to cancel, for whatever reason, your deposit will be forfeited to cover our costs. If we receive your written cancellation within 56 days of your holiday commencement date, higher cancellation charges will be made, as follows: • 56 to 29 days prior to commencement – 30% of the total holiday price.

We would like to explain some of the definitions and features of our insurance cover for you. Cooling off period: Your policy contains a 14 day cooling off period, during which you can cancel the policy and get a refund, if you have a justifiable reason for being dissatisfied with the cover it provides. Pre-existing health conditions: If any participant, or any other person on whom the travel plans depend, has ever had treatment for any heart condition or circulatory condition, a stroke or high blood pressure, any breathing condition (including asthma), any type of cancer, any type of diabetes, any psychological condition, any existing injury or other serious or recurring medical condition, any condition requiring long term, prescribed medication or if you or they are receiving or awaiting investigation for any medical condition, you must advise the insurers via PGL to see if additional cover is available. Insurers reserve the right to impose terms. You will receive confirmation in writing of their decision. Conditions, Exclusions & Terms: Conditions and exclusions will apply to individual sections of your policy while general exclusions, conditions and warranties will apply to the whole policy. Property Claims: These claims are paid based on the value of the goods at the time you lose them and not on a “new for old” or replacement cost basis. Policy Limits: Most sections of the policy have limits on the amount the insurer will pay under that section. Some sections also include other specific limits, for example for any one item or for valuables in total. You are advised to check your policy if you intend taking expensive items with you, which we advise against.
• 28 to 15 days prior to commencement – 45% of the total holiday price. • 14 to 1 days prior to commencement – 100% of the total holiday price. • On or after the commencement date – 100% of the total holiday price.
