Multi Activity 7 nights Sat-Sat

This is our most popular holiday! Multi Activity challenges you to pack as much as you can into your holiday.

Multi Activity holidays give your children the chance to discover what they enjoy and be challenged and excited all day, every day. With over 40 activities on land and water to try and so many different centres to choose from, there's something to discover for every child whatever they're into!

We think 7 nights is where it's really at:

  • It's long enough to really get to know new friends
  • And we have more time to get to know your children better
  • It means they get to do most of our best activities on every centre
  • Your children will gain more independence and confidence
  • but most importantly, it means they can have a lot more fun!

Plus, you can pick up and drop off outside work time!

====Social networking...
Our holidays are all about getting children together in small groups to socialise, learn from one another and share the adventure. Meeting different children in a fun and stimulating group environment is key to what we do.

It’s why we’ve developed our age groupings to create good group dynamics but also be flexible enough to adapt when it makes sense. We divide our holidays into three main age groups in the UK but allow for the youngest and/or older in each group to overlap adjacent age groups so you can choose which will best suit your children.

These are just a few of the reasons why 7 night Multi Activity holidays work so well and why we always make sure they are the best value for money of all. So, if your first though was a short break why not think about 7 nights this year? Lets hear it for the number 7!

Facilities

Throughout the last couple of years at Bawdsey Manor we have invested heavily in the centre to fill the grounds with additional amazing, purpose-built activity bases creating a full range of all our activities from our classic programme including giant swings, a jacob's ladder, trapeze and climb towers. During 2022 we have also created a fantastic purpose built lake, to allow us to offer raft building and canoeing on site.

Alongside our new activities, we converted the historic clock tower buildings into a 'buffet-style' dining room, creating a new space to relax in and enjoy meal times, just a short walk from the main accommodation blocks.

Dormitory bedrooms in the main house were also refurbished along with the existing accommodation blocks in the grounds (to create ensuite rooms). complete the first phase of what we see as a really exciting future for this special centre.

Also at Bawdsey Manor:

  • Playing fields
  • Meeting rooms / workspaces and lounges
  • Sports hall 
  • Shop

A typical itinerary for this holiday

Sample day on a 7 night Multi- Activity holiday
Schedule Activity
Breakfast Off to the dining room with the rest of your group to fuel up for the day, you’ll need plenty of energy to keep you going. Breakfast includes cereals, toast, yogurts, porridge, and cooked breakfast – you choose!
Don’t forget to refill your drinks bottle before you head off to your first activity
Morning Activities Orienteering and Jacob's Ladder
Lunch Worked up an appetite? Great – it’s time to replenish your energy stores with the dining room. If you have energy to spare after lunch your Group Leader will always be ready for a quick kickabout with a ball or you could relax and chat with your new friends.
Afternoon Activities Giant Swing and Canoeing
Dinner Time to eat again – a different menu each day (and did we mention, often evening meals come with a hot pudding too – or you can stick with fruit if you prefer).
Evening Activities Talent shows, campfires, quizzes and much more – your evening activities programme gives you the chance to get together with everyone else in your age group and have some laughs.
Bedtime Bedtime. The younger ones go first whilst older groups have time to chill out and chat or watch a DVD. Then it’s lights out and time to sleep ready to do it all over again tomorrow!

Please note this is a sample itinerary for illustrative purposes only. Itineraries will be planned by the centre shortly before your arrival.
