What's the accommodation like?
After a full day of activities, a good night’s sleep is essential. At Liddington, we have four options for different ages. Rooms in King Edward’s House sleep 5-8 children, while Ridgeway rooms sleep 4-6 children. Our stable accommodation provides rooms for 4-6 children, whereas the main can accommodate up to six children. Each child gets their own bed, with plenty of space for personal belongings and clean, private bathroom facilities nearby.
Can I pay with childcare vouchers or tax-free childcare?

Can I contact my child during their October adventure camp?
Yes! If you need to get in touch, you can call the centre directly during your child’s camp. We’re happy to pass on messages or arrange a time for you to speak with them. However, we kindly ask that you keep calls to a minimum, as children are usually busy taking part in activities throughout the day, making it tricky to arrange contact right away. Rest assured, our friendly team is always on hand if anything urgent comes up, and we’ll make sure your child is supported and having a great time.
For more details, visit our Key Information and FAQs page.
Are the camps split by age groups?
We want your child to be comfortable when they’re at camp, which is why certain ages overlap, meaning a ‘primary school’ 11-year-old could join our 8-11 adventures, and your ‘secondary school’ 11-year-old could join our 11-13 adventures! For teenagers, our adventure camps for 13-16 year olds offer the perfect blend of discovery and fun.
