Marchants Hill Adventure Centre, Surrey

About Marchants Hill

Marchants Hill adventure centre is conveniently placed for primary schools from London and the surrounding area. It’s close to London but once you’re here, it’s like being in the countryside.

We’ve got 45 acres of grounds and woodland for your group to discover the many adventure activities on offer, including watersports on the on-site lake.For something a little bit different, why not give your pupils a taste for the real outdoors on a hiking trip to explore the beautiful surroundings nearby?

After a busy day’s activities, pupils can enjoy an evening entertainment programme full of games and fun, supervised by our friendly centre staff.

Comfortable accommodation is provided in purpose-built lodges in the grounds and in Bethany House, a popular choice for groups looking for sole occupancy. All accommodation is en suite.

Food

Enjoyable mealtimes with nutritious and tasty food
Our meals are freshly cooked, balanced and will give your pupils plenty of energy to keep them going throughout the day.

Our little extras
In addition to our fantastic range of hot meals, (which are freshly prepared and include vegetarian options), we offer tasty, healthy, homemade soup every day. There’s also a wide variety of fresh fruit and salad options at our salad bar – it’s great when they want to try something new!

Fussy Eaters?
We know some of your pupils may be particular about what they eat. Don’t worry though, whether it’s because of special dietary needs or simply someone who’s really particular, we will always find something to suit any special requests you may have. And if they’re still hungry, we can offer alternatives and extra food.

Looking after you
Good meals in an efficient and clean environment is always a given with us, but we like to do much more. We go all-out to create a friendly and welcoming atmosphere in pleasant, attractive surroundings to help you to enjoy dining with us.
