2012 venue - Hagg Farm

Hagg Farm Outdoor Education Centre offers visitors the opportunity of residential visits to enrich and enhance group activities, and is an excellent base to explore the stunning Peak District.

Hagg Farm centre is a comfortable high quality residential base for up to 44 people in the main centre and up to 16 people in the John Hunt Base. Ashover Camp has booked both venues so we should have lots of space.

The centre stands in its own grounds surrounded by forest and moor land. Facilities in the main centre include bunk rooms of 2 - 8 people, fully equipped kitchen, large group/dining room, TV/DVD/video, payphone and fax, group PCs, classroom, library and drying room.

The John Hunt Base is a separate annexe in the courtyard of the main base. It offers very pleasant accommodation for up to 16, and has a lounge with open fire, equipped kitchen, TV/video, payphone and drying room. Every group has sole use of each centre. The centre is flexible to each groups needs and is a very well established outdoor activity centre for schools. It is ideal for a whole range of uses however for both young people and adults.

Situated in Derbyshire at the heart of the Peak District National Park, the centre is housed in a converted 19th Century hill farm. Walks from the door lead onto the high moors of Kinder and Bleaklow and around Ladybower reservoir and dams.

The centre is close to many famous rock climbing ventures such as Stanage Edge, and to the classic caves of the area such as Giants Hole and Peak Cavern. Many sites of historic and environmental interest are within easy reach such as Chatsworth House, Eyam and Buxton, yet Sheffield is only 20 minutes drive away.

The grounds include two car parks, a field and wildlife garden, climbing tower and access to surrounding woodlands including several orienteering and problem solving activities.
