main centre and the John Hunt Base are fully centrally heated and well
maintained inside and out. The grounds include two car parks, a wildlife
garden, field, tyrolean, jacobs ladder, climbing tower and access to the surrounding woodland. As
well as the many off-site and on-site activities,
including climbing, caving, orienteering, problem solving and environmental
education the site also lends itself to quiet pursuits including
art and group retreats. |
Groups have sole use of the centre or John Hunt Base
during their stay. All bedding, including duvets, sheets and pillowcases
is available at Hagg Farm main centre whilst in the John Hunt Base only
pillows and blankets are provided with most groups bringing their own sleeping
bags, although linen can be arranged for a small charge. The Centre is flexible to each
group's particular needs and plans. Hagg Farm can be used for a wide range
of purposes for young people and adults. Hirers can book the centre for
its main purpose as an outdoor and environmental education centre or it is
suitable for other activities or visits, or for quiet relaxation and
retreats. Centre staff can provide advice on programme planning and
arrange outdoor leadership, activities and equipment if required.
| School bookings take priority and are allocated for a full academic year at a
time, in the spring before the next academic year. After this time any vacant
weeks and weekends are available for both schools and other users. |
|
Hagg Farm provides Nottinghamshire schools with a qualified outdoor education
teacher to lead activities and guide the organisation of the visit. Other
users can buy in this specialist input as necessary.
