Adventure for all ages at Liddington
We’ve learned that children get the most from their PGL adventure when they’re with kids their own age, which is why at Liddington we split our holidays into three main age groups. Not only do children feel more confident and relaxed around same-age peers, it means their adventure will be perfectly tailored to suit their ability, offering age-appropriate excitement, challenges and activities to provide maximum enjoyment from their Liddington holiday.
Our overlapping age ranges give you the option to choose the best group for your child if they are sitting at the upper/lower age limit.

Does my child need waterproofs for their residential trip?
We think it’s certainly worth bringing a waterproof. The weather is always unpredictable and we’ll all be outside enjoying adventure activities no matter the weather! So, bringing a waterproof means your child is covered if it does start to rain.
Can I contact my child during their camp stay?
If they want to buy something to take back home with them then they can bring money to spend at our gift shop. We suggest about £10 per child, either as cash or on a pre-paid card. We have lots of goodies to choose from, including caps, pens, t-shirts, mugs and more! If your child is with a uniformed group they can also get a badge to take home.
What facilities does the camp have?
Yes, you can contact your child while they’re on camp. If your child is taking their mobile phone, they can contact you during their free time (highlighted in our Mobile Phone Policy). But if they’re not bringing a phone to Liddington, then they can always let a member of the PGL team know that they’d like to contact home and they’ll get that organised. You can also get in contact with your child if needed, by calling our Liddington centre or through contacts provided by your child’s group leader.
Do you cater for special dietary requirements?
Yes, we can cater for lots of dietary requirements, including coeliacs, diabetics, guests with food allergies and vegetarians/vegans. If your child or anybody in your group has specific dietary requirements whether for religious, cultural or medical reasons, just let us know at the time of booking so we can make sure they’re catered for at Liddington.

We have a huge emphasis on safety, starting with the recruitment of our staff and continuing through to all of our activities.
