What we can offer
Mill on the Brue Outdoor Activity Centre is definitely different from other activity centres! We are a family run, not for profit, educational and environmental organisation which has been inspiring and educating children and adults for the last 29 years. We provide courses for school, youth, special needs and adult groups, summer camps for unacompanied children and outdoor activity days for all. Open from the end of January to the beginning of December, there are over 40 exciting, outdoor adventure, educational & environmental activities on our 20 acre site in the heart of beautiful Somerset.
We believe in quality not quantity; we pride ourselves in continuously taking great care of our customers, with close attention to detail.

From insulating throughout, solar heating for hot water for one of the buildings, reduction in food waste, to rainwater harvesting for loos and motion sensors to save electricity we are constantly looking at ways to improve and educate ourselves and our customers.
