Progress update! Finishing touches on our outdoor eating extension has made a really wonderful space for our Summer groups to spill out in to. Complete with custom “marine” canvas covers for inclement weather, we can’t wait to see our groups making use of this amazing space.
April 2022
Well its official! The Cosy Timber Yurt Village is now officially OPEN after our Opening Weekend Celebration. We cut the Ribbon (and the cake) and celebrated together God’s amazing provision. The extended outdoor dining area was finished in time for the celebration and will allow our larger summer groups space to spill outside in warmer weather to enjoy their meals.

A quick progress update on what has been happening over the winter! As the grass greens up around the yurts we continue work fitting out the cabins with bunks. Our wonderful volunteers have been doing an amazing job. There has also been great progress adding an outdoor eating area to the catering cabin. We anticipate this will be a really popular addition. This month we are excited for the official opening of the yurt village at our Opening Weekend Celebration. We have also been performing some essential maintenance on our 5 year old copse of trees thanks to some wonderful conservation volunteers and we have 300 new trees being planted in celebration of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.

Well done to the team and volunteers who got the outside of the ‘cosy timber yurt village’ treated just before the autumn rains. The groundwork is complete and the yurts are now very much in use with our ‘With Dad weekend’ enjoying their stay in mid September. Our over winter plans include lots of work on the copse of trees to improve their health.
August 2021
An exciting progress update! Our first guests stay in the yurts! Welcome to the young people on our Total Adventure Holidays who enjoyed using the yurts for the first time. Praise God everything came together just in time – we didn’t even need to use our back up plan of cardboard boxes in the windows, as one of our curtain making volunteers dropped off the curtains for the yurts just a couple of hours before despite no idea they would be used that week.
June 2021
Progress on Phase One of the Adventure Base is being made! The electrics and water are now completed and the temporary loos and showers have been installed for the summer too! The areas around the cabins and yurts is being landscaped now in time for the Summer Total Adventure Holidays so we can welcome the first young people into this fantastic new facility!
