Can I book a Wild Kids party for a group of children aged 6-7 years?

      • Alternatively, our sister company Craggy Island offers parties for children aged 5+ which do not require adult supervision. You can visit their website here.

Wild Trials

Why can’t I book on line?

Why is this more suitable as team building than the ‘Extreme Wild’ course?

      • We have specific challenges in this zone designed so that you need team work to meet their demands. You simply won’t get up the Jacobs Ladder or build the crate stack without careful coordination and problem solving skills.

What age groups are the Wild Trials aimed at?

      • We have suitable challenges for all age groups above 11. So great for Scouts and guides and schools
      • However, corporate groups or any adult team wanting some team building is our most popular booking

Can I book this for a stag or hen party?

      • Yes you can!
