telephone, classroom, well resourced library/computer room, showers and

John Hunt Base
The John Hunt Base is situated in the courtyard at Hagg Farm and has
been refurbished so the whole of the base is wheelchair accessible. The
attractive, self-contained unit accommodates up to 16 people in 2-person
to 8-person bunk bedded rooms. The Base provides a lounge,
TV/DVD, payphone, showers and toilets (adapted for disabled use),

Centre Complex
Hagg Farm main centre and the John Hunt Base are fully centrally
heated and well maintained inside and out. The grounds include two car
parks, a wildlife garden, field, artificial climbing boulder, tyrolean,
jacobs ladder, climbing tower and access to the surrounding woodland. As
well as the many off-site and on-site activities, including climbing,
caving, orienteering, problem solving and environmental education the
site also lends itself to quiet pursuits including art and group
retreats.
Groups have sole use of the centre or John Hunt Base during their
stay. All bedding, including duvets, sheets and pillowcases is provided at Hagg Farm main centre and in the John Hunt Base.
The centre is flexible to each group's particular needs and plans.
Centre staff can provide advice on programme planning and arrange
outdoor leadership, activities and equipment if required. The centre
also offers a wide range of training and assessment courses leading to
National Governing Body awards in the outdoors (see our Training Courses section).
