Blackland Farm has a long history of supporting Guide and Scout groups, and we’re proud to continue that tradition.
As the site moves into its next chapter, we want to make sure it remains a place where young people can learn, explore, challenge themselves and create memories outdoors for generations to come.
As part of our commitment to protecting the legacy of the site and supporting the organisations that have been part of its story, all Guide and Scout groups receive 20% off our services. Whether you're planning a day visit, an evening activity, a weekend camp or a full residential, you can choose the level of support that works for your group. Book individual activities, mix them with your own activities, or simply use Blackland Farm as your base and run your own programme.
From Rainbows, Brownies, Guides and Rangers to Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Explorers, we welcome groups of all ages and offer a huge range of opportunities to get outdoors, develop skills and have fun together.
We’re proud of where Blackland Farm has come from - and even more excited about where it’s going. By supporting Guides and Scouts, we hope to keep the spirit of volunteer led outdoor adventure, learning and community that has been such an important part of this site alive for many years to come.
Blackland Farm is proud to welcome youth organisations, uniformed groups, charities and organised groups from across the local community and beyond. From cadet forces and Girls’ Brigade to youth charities, community groups, faith groups, veterans’ organisations and other volunteer-led organisations, we offer flexible ways to get people outdoors, active and learning.
Whether you're planning a day visit, evening activity, conference, weekend camp or full residential, you can choose exactly how much support you need.
Book individual activities, mix them with your own programme, or simply use Blackland Farm as your base and run your own activities. We offer a huge range of opportunities to build confidence, develop practical skills, work as a team and have fun outdoors, with options to suit different ages, abilities, group sizes and budgets.
Whatever your organisation and whoever your group is, we're happy to work with you to create a visit that fits your needs.

We believe outdoor adventure should be accessible to everyone.
Our outreach work takes the experiences, skills and opportunities available at Blackland Farm out into the wider community, working directly with schools, youth organisations, charities and other groups.
From bringing outdoor activities into schools and community settings to delivering taster sessions, team challenges and personal development activities, we can create programmes that give people the opportunity to try something new, build confidence and discover the benefits of being outdoors.
Our outreach work can be particularly valuable for people who may not normally have access to outdoor adventure, including alternative provision, SEN settings and community groups.Whether you need a one-off session, a programme of activities or something developed specifically around the needs of your people, we’re happy to work with you to make it happen.
Keep the kids active, outdoors and having fun throughout the summer holidays with Blackland Farm’s Adventure Club.
Designed for children aged 8–13, our holiday club runs from 8.30am–5.30pm, giving young adventurers a full day of outdoor activities, challenges and new experiences in the great outdoors.
From climbing and archery to bushcraft, team challenges and plenty more, every day is packed with opportunities to try something new, build confidence, make friends and have fun.
It’s a brilliant way to keep children entertained during the school holidays while giving them the freedom to explore, get active and enjoy a proper outdoor adventure.
One day, several days or all summer - let the adventure begin!
