FAQ

What’s included in the cost of the PGL trip?

Everything your school or group needs is included in the cost of the camp at Marchants Hill, with accommodation, activities, equipment, food and drinks all covered in the price per person!

What happens in the evenings?

The fun doesn’t stop after the day’s activities! After dinner, our evening entertainment programme will keep your class or group amused until  it’s time for bed. We’ve got discos, campfires, quizzes and loads more! We want to create a schedule perfect for your group, so if you have anything in particular then just let us know and we’ll do our best to plan it into your group’s itinerary!

What should I pack for my child's overnight stay?

  • Tops/t-shirts (for daily adventure activities)

Does my child need waterproofs for their residential trip?

We suggest that your child brings waterproofs to their adventure at Marchants Hill. Your child will be taking part in our outdoor adventure activities, so having a waterproof that they can put on in case it starts to rain is perfect for keeping as dry as possible.

Can I contact my child during their camp stay?

They don’t need to bring money, but if your child would like to buy a souvenir to take home from the gift shop then we recommend about £10 per child, in cash or on a pre-paid card. We have lots to choose from at our gift shop, including group badges and PGL goodies like caps, t-shirts, mugs, teddy bears and more!

Do you cater for special dietary requirements?

Yes, at PGL we regularly provide meals for a wide variety of needs including coeliac, diabetic, food allergies and vegetarian/vegan. If your child or anybody in your group has any dietary requirements, whether for religious, cultural or medical reasons, just let us know when you book so we can make sure they’re catered for. All of our catering staff have received food allergy and food hygiene training.
