About Winmarleigh Hall

There are 50 acres of adventure packed into the grounds at Winmarleigh activity centre. Located near the Forest of Bowland, Winmarleigh is popular with secondary schools in the north west of England and can offer some inspirational learning outside the classroom opportunities for your group.

Watch them build confidence as they leap for the trapeze bar, discover the natural leaders in a raft building challenge and see the quieter students come out of themselves as they brave the giant swing!

There are some fantastic adventure activities on land and water to experience at Winmarleigh and there are also some great facilities. We have floodlit activity areas, sports pitches, games rooms and lots of classroom space to take advantage of.

Our spacious Victorian mansion house can comfortably accommodate secondary school groups of all sizes and offers a welcome retreat after an action-packed day.
