The Horstead Centre

The Horstead Centre is a residential outdoor education centre set against the picturesque Norfolk Broads.

Closely aligned with the Diocese of Norwich, we can accommodate up to 65 and have a full team of instructors ready to build an adventurous outdoor activity programme for your group. We specialise in providing high-quality experiences for schools and youth groups, and we offer full-board and self-catered experiences for groups of all ages, all year round. We have an excellent professional kitchen, and we hold a 5-star food hygiene rating.

As for the Centre itself, we are situated on the edge of the Norfolk Broads National Park and on the river Bure, which runs below our woodland. We have a beautiful, enclosed, private walled garden and a spinney of woodland to explore too. We have a spacious dining room, two comfortable lounges and a well-equipped games room with pool table, table tennis and table football. The house is an old Rectory, and we pride ourselves in providing a warm welcome and a homely environment. www.horsteadcentre.org.uk

We have a wide range of on-site activities, including archery, bushcraft, climbing tower, zip wire, crate stacking, vertical challenge and a low ropes courses. With the river just behind the Centre we can offer canoeing, stand-up paddle boarding, raft building and sit-on-top kayaking too.

We encourage cooperation and team building through everything we do, and our Charitable Mission is to provide the best possible opportunity for young people to develop in their physical, social, intellectual and spiritual capacities within a safe but challenging environment.
