Story

Avon Tyrrell Outdoor Activity Centre is located on 65 acres of land in the heart of the New Forest, offering outdoor education through an extensive range of adventure and field study activities.

The Avon Tyrrell centre was donated to the UK Youth charity in 1949, and today provides learning opportunities for children and young adults, groups and individuals to, ‘Experience, Learn and Develop’.

We run activities and sessions to suit everyone from schools, sport groups and youth groups, to disability groups, faith groups and even corporate clients.

Schools: We offer an extensive range of adventure and field study activities, all of which can be linked to the National Curriculum and are quality assured by Learning Outside the Classroom (LOtC), the Adventure Activities Licensing Authorities (AALA), the British Canoe Union (BCU) and Hampshire County Council.

Our expertise is working with school students. Mixing fun with education, you will experience, learn and develop through our programmes, educating children and young adults away from the classroom.

Holiday Activities: We offer fun filled adventure days, half days or individual activities for your child during the school holidays.

Corporate Team Building and Training Courses: We can offer development opportunities including training and teambuilding sessions, as well as volunteer opportunities to develop your company’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR.)

Events: We host an extensive range of events throughout the year including our Big Bike Bash, Summer Fete, celebrations and festivals, all of which you can be a part of.

Family and Friends: Avon Tyrrell is a residential centre offering full-board in the main house, self-catering in log-cabins as well as camping within the grounds. Accommodation can be packaged with adventure activities if you are looking for a holiday in the New Forest.

From Adventure to Field study, Personal development to learn a new skill, we offer a wide range of activities and accommodation for everyone and can tailor your residential package to suit your needs.
