THANK YOU”

INTRODUCTION

At Phasels Wood, we want to provide you and your group with a truly inspiring adventurous experience every time you visit. With an unrivaled choice of activities, set in 95 acres of meadows and woodland there’s so much to do.

Our experienced team are here to offer a warm and friendly welcome and will help create a programme that suits you. We can offer anything from an hours activity, to a full activity week, whatever you are looking for, our ethos is together we can do it!

Our approach puts your needs at the heart of the planning process - if you are pressed for time and resources, we can offer complete packages with a full activity programme, off site visits, catering and transport; if you prefer to organise the details yourself, you can simply book a pitch or a Lodge and we’ll build it up from there…whichever you choose, we understand the need to deliver great value.

Once you arrive our qualified instructors are here to work with you and deliver your groups goals. We are also proud to offer you the re-assurance of the externally verified Adventuremark Accreditation for our activities, along with the Learning Outside the Classroom Quality badge awarded for our overall experience.

We’re looking forward to hearing from you soon.
