Adventure Holidays at
WINmARLEIGH HALL
Lancashire
Set in 50 acres of parkland
Adjacent to the Forest of Bowland
En-suite accommodation
Winmarleigh Hall is just great for Multi Activity holidays!
The Forest of Bowland lies nearby, which is a designated Area of Natural Beauty. Built around the original main house, Winmarleigh was formerly a spectacular traditional Victorian estate. Set in 50 acres of gardens, parkland and woodland, the building retains many original features and its large rooms and sturdy construction make it ideal for groups of children.
The centre is small enough to have a homely feel, but large enough to explore and experience a range of fantastic activities! Winmarleigh Hall offers some great activities, including the well loved – giant swing!
Available at Winmarleigh Hall in 2024: 3, 4 & 7 night Multi-Activity Camps

Rooms at Winmarleigh Hall are either in the main house or the adjacent modern accommodation block. All accommodation is en-suite and rooms sleep 4-10 guests.

Activities available
Every day is different
We offer almost 40 different activities across all our centres and we pack in as many as possible on every PGL Adventure Holiday. Please note that not all activities are available at all centres; please see the list below for activities available at this centre.
Evening activities
The fun doesn’t stop there! We also include fun-packed evening entertainment programmes at all our centres, every day, all year round, whichever holiday you choose.
Food
Fuel for adventure
To keep your children energised for their active PGL break our catering teams work hard to produce a menu jam-packed with nutritious family-friendly favourites to suit all appetites. This year we have made some improvements to bring you our best menu yet! View our sample menu here.
- The PGL breakfast - hot options, cereals, toast, yoghurts, pastries & more!
- Lighter tastier lunches - a pit-stop to prepare for a busy afternoon. Refuel with fresh sandwiches, soups, pasta or salads.
- Delicious 'kids favourites' evening meals - crowd pleasing classics such as fish & chips, roast dinners and bangers & mash.
Our buffet style dining room means that children can ‘mix and match’ the items they love most and have unlimited access to our salad bar and fresh fruit. Our Group leaders are on hand to help and will look out for anyone who can’t find anything on the menu that they enjoy. If necessary our catering teams will be more than happy to prepare something special.
Allergies, intolerances and other dietary requirements
A vegetarian alternative can always be provided on all our holidays, and we can accommodate most special diets required on medical or religious grounds, just let us know when you book.
Keeping hydrated
Water, squash, tea and coffee are available with all meals and children are encouraged to refill their water bottles for regular use throughout the day. There are also water fountains available around the centre.
