Step 3 : How do our activities work?

See the activities in action!

Sometimes you just have to see it to believe it! We have a collection of videos available on our YouTube channel which will help you to get a sense of how our activities run here at Bendrigg.

Activity Stories

We have created a range of communication resources to help you prepare for your trip.

We understand that for many of our visitors, coming to a new place is a challenge in itself, let alone taking on adventure activities! Therefore, Bendrigg have created their own activity stories to help ease peoples anxieties before a visit.

Step 5 : Want to visit us in person? No problem!

We know that time is of the essence which is why we created this virtual pack to help you get a feel for Bendrigg from the comfort of your home… BUT we would still very much welcome group leaders from schools and groups to come and visit us for a short tour of our grounds and facilities.

To arrange this please contact us to tell us about your group and when you’d like to visit!

We hope to welcome you to Bendrigg soon!
