We’re offering exciting residential trips!
Wow, what a year it’s been! Like many organisations, BF Adventure has had a challenging year but we’re pleased to be in a position to offer some exciting residential trips and special offers for schools in 2021. We sincerely hope that these support you in overcoming the impacts of the pandemic and will do our best to provide real value and meet your needs. If you have any questions or requests, please email us.
Here’s what’s on offer…
1. Discounted residential packages & day visits
We’ve seen the hit that C19 has had on the opportunities for children to interact, build social skills and learn from new experiences. Our packages are designed in line with the PSHE curriculum, with activities that build teamwork, critical thinking, communication, resilience, problem solving and confidence. We’re offering:
- 2 night residentials with over £35 saving pp
- 4 night residentials with over £70 saving pp
- Day visits with between £7.50-10 saving pp, dependent on group size.
2. Our unique Via Ferrata activity and a FREE visit for teachers!
This summer we launched our incredibly popular Via Ferrata, the only experience of its kind in the south of England! Pupils get to journey through our historic granite quarries in an epic adventure as they scale cliff faces, wobble their way across our 70m long High Wire Bridge and end on the Zip Wire finale! Perfect for children aged 8+, this activity conquers fears and bonds groups as they undertake the ultimate adventure experience together.
In Spring we’ll be hosting a FREE TEACHER WEEKEND, where you can come and try the activity! We’ll also be giving tours of our accommodation and providing an overview of our activities and catering, so you can get a feel for what our school trips are like. Please do email us if you’d like to be kept in the loop!
3. Free site visits and sample activities
Considering coming to us for a residential and want to get a feel for us sooner? We provide free site visits, along with free activity samples! These are open to teachers as well as children, whether that be some of your class pupils or your own family. Please email us to arrange!
4. The chance to refer us and receive a £100 activity voucher
Are you able to refer us to another school? Simply email us and copy in the teacher who’s interested. If they book a residential with us, we’ll offer you £100 off future activities. You can choose to use this against a future school booking OR a personal family booking!
5. The chance to win a £25 activity voucher
Our webpage has just been updated and we’d really appreciate your feedback. Did you find all the information you were looking for? Was it helpful? Let us know by 11th December and you’ll automatically be entered into a prize draw to win £25 worth of activities, which you could put towards a school trip or enjoy for personal use with our Via Ferrata, watersports, climbing and more!
We hope these offers support you through what has been a very challenging time. Please do get in touch with us if you have any questions!
Best wishes

Hi Eleanor. Discounted school residential trips sound great! I agree that the pandemic has restricted everyone from socializing, especially the kids who are about to start developing this kind of skill. Thankfully, you offer residential trips to help pupils develop independence, boost confidence, and learn new things. I would definitely suggest this kind of activity in the next parent-teacher meeting. But how do you handle everyone’s safety throughout the trip?
Hello there

You are completely right to be mindful of the safety of your children on any school visit. We pride ourselves on offering adventurous activities in a safe manor and have external accreditations from the Adventurous Activity Licencing Service (AALS) and The council for learning outside the classroom (LoTC) who have both conformed that we meet their minimum safe standards for operating. Certificates can be found on our website along with our risk assessments and heaps of guidance you will find useful. http://www.bfadventure.org/paperwork/ If you would like a more in depth discussion or would like us to visit your school to reassure parents, we would be happy to come out or join a presentation remotely depending on your location to continue the discussion.
