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 since 1982.

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.

Using qualified and highly experienced HR trainers we also run company team building, management training courses and company challenge days, as well as Stag and Hen activity days. Additionally the award winning Longhouse, provides space for 120 people to dine whilst overlooking the beautiful Brue valley. The Longhouse, with adjacent vaulted wine cellar, is licensed to hold civil weddings and is the perfect wedding venue throughout the year.

A prestigious and award-winning venue

Based in South East Somerset, on the borders of Dorset and Wiltshire, we are only two hours from London and one hour from Bath and Bristol. We are founder members of the British Activity Holiday Association, licensed by the Adventure Activities Licensing Authority, a member of the Institute of Outdoor Learning, a British Canoe Union Approved Centre and hold the Learning Outside the Classroom Badge.

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.
