Centres of Excellence

From the very beginning, Manor Adventure was founded on the idea of creating true centres of excellence for school residentials. Rather than operating on a vast, impersonal scale, we focus on a carefully chosen selection of six UK and two French centres – each maintained to the highest standard. This allows us to invest fully in our people, our facilities, and our programmes, ensuring every school receives the personal care, quality, and safety that Manor Adventure is known for.
