Our New Outdoor Cooking and Washing-up Shelter - Spring 2024
Working with Smiths Sectional Buildings, we have recently built a new outdoor cooking and washing up shelter for our campers!
The shelter offers sufficient shelter for large groups to cook outside and washup, with enough room to sit, eat and chat, if its raining.
We still have some work to do to fit the shelter out with worktops, but we have tables and chairs in the Chalet nearby which can be used.



​Archery at Copeland Cottage
About
This exciting new activity will be up and running from August 2023.
Working with Trent Valley Archery, Archery GB and thanks to funding from the Community Foundation, we have brand new equipment, nets and bosses so that groups can book Have-a-go sessions with a qualified Archery Instructor.
Archery is a fun activity for all ages and abilities and is a great activity for the mind and the body. We are offering this activity for children aged 7 upwards (Brownies, Guides, Rangers, Cubs, Scouts and Leaders).
Benefits of taking up Archery are:
Improves focus and concentration
Improves hand / eye coordination
Improves upper body strength
Improves social skills and confidence
Have-a-go sessions will last for 3 hours and up to 12 people can take part in the activity at any one time.
Bookings
Archery Sessions can be booked for sessions from 10-1pm, 2-5pm and 6-9 pm during May to October. Please contact Judith, our bookings secretary to arrange your group session.
