ONSITE FACILITIES
More than just an ‘Adventure Centre’
BAGGERIDGE ADVENTURE
Baggeridge Adventure is an exceptional activity venue and it provides an exclusive and safe environment for everyone. Our affordable adventure packages are suitable for all ages and abilities and we pride ourselves on getting visitors outside of their comfort zones in a fun and secure environment.
HIGH ROPES COURSE
Adventurers can traverse through the high and low ropes courses, take a leap of faith down the PowerFan Descender and swing through the trees along the Zip Wire – above all, a high-level adventure guaranteed to get the adrenaline pumping! The course has state of the art safety systems and all instructors are highly qualified outdoor specialists.
NETS ADVENTURE
We have combined ‘high ropes’ obstacles with safety nets to create an aerial playground, different to anything else out there. No need to put harnesses on and perfect if you want to build your confidence. You are always safe and the activity is always supervised by one of our instructors who is responsible for everyone’s safety. 
OBSTACLES + BOULDERING
Brand new last year – our obstacle course and bouldering wall will test anyone and we love it! Leave it to us to make sure that the challenge is suitable for you when you embark on your journey with your mates, family or colleagues. The obstacle course is included in the Adventure Pass for ‘Weekend Warriors’ who visit and will always be included in our weekday programmes for organisations.
TEAM BUILDING
Everything that we do is about developing you and your team. We work with you to put a suitable programme together and we are proud to say that our innovative ground-based activities will always get you learning together and put a smile on your face. 
WOODLAND CHALLENGE
We want to get our customers active and explore the amazing environment surrounding our centre. What better way to do this than introduce a few challenges along the way. We have set out our own orienteering trails where teams, armed with one of our trail maps, move from point to point and undertake different problem solving tasks.
FOREST SKILLS
Our activities are very interactive, relaxing and informative and we have a dedicated space onsite to deliver our courses. We seek to encourage, motivate, engage and inspire through positive outdoor experiences. It’s not just about the skills, it’s about the environment – active outdoor learning for everyone.
ENGAGING ENVIRONMENTS
Located on the doorstep of the Black Country at Baggeridge Country Park, our site offers visitors a brilliant opportunity to get away from it all. We have made every effort to build an engaging venue that provides our customers with opportunities to get active, adventurous and learn about themselves and others. Our centre blends in to the surrounding environment – so visitors quickly forget about the stress of everyday life.
MORE THAN JUST AN ADVENTURE CENTRE
As a ‘not for profit’ company we want to make our facilities available to all and customer experience is also high on our agenda. We use indoor and outdoor spaces to promote learning and adventure, we also welcome other partners and users if they want to hire our facilities for the good of the community.
INDOOR CLASSROOMS
There are a number of indoor spaces onsite. We have 4 indoor classrooms with heating and air conditioning, smart-boards, networks, projectors and desks – each classroom accommodates 10 people but can be joined together to accommodate 20 people at a time If you want some workshop space then this can easily be achieved.
WOODLAND SHELTER
Woodland Shelter A meeting place with a difference, our onsite woodland shelter can house up to 40 people at a time. The perfect solution for ‘outdoor learning’ when the elements are a bit to harsh to deal with. We also use the shelter as a venue for birthday parties where organisers can set up their own meal and decorations at a small extra cost.
SPECTATORS
We have put a lot of thought into providing viewing areas where, if you are a spectator, then you almost feel part of the experience. Large decked areas with seating mean that you are able to encourage and support those who might need it when standing at least 30 ft off the ground. Visitor experience is very important to us.
WOODLAND ENVIRONMENT
Baggeridge Country Park provides an ideal setting for those looking for wildlife and those wishing to enjoy the peace and quiet of the countryside. #IWILL volunteers from Ormiston SWB Academy have helped us to plant around our site to ensure that we blend within our immediate environment.
HIRE OUR SPACE
We include use of facilities as part of our programmes and packages but if you are just looking for an inspirational meeting space where you can work with your team or a venue with a difference to host a celebration then we will happily hire it out to you. Why not mix and match with some of our activities?
