Lockerbrook offers groups the flexibility of being able to plan the type of activity programme best suited for your visit. We strongly recommend talking to us about your needs / objectives.
Staff and adults accompanying groups may wish to use their own skills to run either part or the entire programme.
Mobile phones do not work in any of the buildings however, service is patchy around the centre and most networks receive a service from the car park area.
For groups arriving by coach, there is a coach park at Fairholmes. We can arrange to collect your luggage and transport it to Lockerbrook, this leaves a short energetic walk up to Lockerbrook and will take about 15 minutes
There are 4 orienteering packages and various problem-solving challenges available for groups to use. We also have an environmental art package, which gives ideas and practical tips for running art sessions in the outdoors.
Lockerbrook specialise in youth provision, but we do also take family groups, adult walking and activity groups and management training groups.
We also ask groups to be careful to extinguish cigarettes carefully, either at Lockerbrook or when out walking as most fire on the moors are attributed to carelessly discarded cigarettes.
Yes. It is helpful to let us know when you make a booking whether or not your group would like Centre led activities. However, you do need to contact the Centre at least 3 months prior to your visit to discuss activity options, suitability of activities for your group, transport requirement and costs. At this stage, once you have made a firm booking for activity sessions the cancellation procedure is that your group is liable for the full cost of the activity.
We can sometimes organise activities at short notice. However we cannot always guarantee to be able to have resources or instructors available so please give as much notice as possible.
There are 3 catering options available.
1. To self cater. Lockerbrook has a well resourced kitchen well suited for group use. All crockery, cutlery, pans etc. are provided along with Tea towels, cloths, washing up liquid etc. There is one 6 ring gas cooker and two large ovens. We also have a large commercial fridge, chest freezer and a microwave oven.
2. Assisted catering. We prepare the menu and purchase the shopping. Your group prepare and serve breakfast and make packed lunches. We then prepare the evening meal for you ready for the group to serve. All clearing away and washing up is done by the group. Supper is left available for the group to serve as required.
3. Full catering. We prepare all the food, assist with serving and supervise the washing up. We ask that a team be available at breakfast and evening meal to assist in the kitchen. Supper is left available for the group to serve as required.
Yes.
We are happy to cater for all special dietary requirements. However, it
is essential to contact the Centre 1 month before the visit.
