News and Media: New PGL Centres for 2009

13 May 2008

PGL is delighted to announce the addition of two new centres in the UK, both of which will become operational next year.

PGL Windmill Hill

Windmill Hill

Windmill Hill will open in May 2009 following a £6 million refurbishment programme which will deliver new, purpose-built en suite accommodation and high quality, challenging adventurous activities on-site.

Previously a prestigious tennis centre, this premium site offers a great combination of a highly accessible location and plenty of outdoor space - perfect for a PGL transformation!

Located close to Brighton, Windmill Hill will offer our market leading outdoor education programme plus a selection of high quality cultural excursions including a variety of themed day-trips to France.
