The Dirty Weekend Legacy Course
Our assault course is what really sets us apart from anything else in the UK. Formerly host to Rat Race Dirty Weekend, the world’s largest assault course, our course features around 4km of obstacles made famous in this legendary event.
The course contains 60+ obstacles, scattered around the forest over a 4km-long loop, which starts and finishes at our basecamp area. Experience our ‘Rollercoaster’ obstacle which takes you high up into the trees on wooden walkways of ever-increasing height; plus the enormous ‘Ewok Village’ – the single biggest obstacle structure ever built for such a course. Choose to take on the assault course as a big team together, or organise your own race between yourselves, with group members setting off in small groups or individually. The course is fully waymarked and safety signage is positioned at relevant obstacles.
You can choose to take on the course unsupervised, or add some of our fun and professional staff members to chaperone and look after the group out on the course. A base level of fitness if required and you should expect to get a bit wet & muddy, topple in the trenches. There is no full immersion in water, unless you want to pair your Dirty Weekend assault course experience with ‘Walk the Plank’ as a final activity before hitting the showers – see description of this fun attraction below.
SUITABLE FOR: Anyone with a base level of fitness. You can choose to walk or run around the course
DURATION: Depends how fast you go! Also the experience will take longer if tackling it as a big group. Expect 1 – 2 hrs depending on pace of the group

The Power Tower
Packing an almighty adventure punch, our purpose-built 12 metre power tower is 100% pure adrenaline. We have some classic outdoor action activities on the tower including – 80m zip-wires, 12m abseil & climbing wall and our fearfully-fantastic Leap-of-Faith, which is exactly as it is described: Stand on the edge of the platform, ignore your instincts telling you to back away, and instead just keep the faith and step forwards.
The adrenaline tower experience can easily be added onto an assault course session as a fitting finale activity, as it is located right at the end of the assault course at our basecamp.
SUITABLE FOR: Fearless high flyers or those wanting to face their fears
DURATION: 60 minutes for all three activities.
AGE LIMIT: 6+
Laser Tag - Forest Style!
Lock and load and square up on opposing teams as you do battle in the woods. Laser tag is great fund and unlike its messier cousin – paintballing – it is ‘no impact’ either. Split into teams and do battle in the woods. You can choose to incorporate our obstacles into the warzone scenarios; and we also have a purpose-built laser tag arena on site for those looking for the classic experience. This is suitable for all levels and is also really family and child-friendly.
SUITABLE FOR: Sneaky snipers and sharp shooting team players

Forest Fuddle
We've laid out a number of clues and puzzles around the forest for 'Fuddlers' to find and solve. Armed with a map guiding you to where the clues reside, you will take a hunt around the woods to locate the clues, solve the puzzles and challenges and return to base in glory if you've been successful.
This is a great activity for those who want a taste of the forest with the physical activity dialled down. It suits all abilities and can be done as a group, family, pairs or solos with no age limits. Some of the clue placements are in unusual places but none of them are difficult to reach or read.
A great activity for a purposeful stroll soaking up the sights, sounds and smells of our glorious woodland location. Expect to walk around 3 - 4km in total over 1-2 hours.
For larger groups we can set you off in sub-groups competing, or rotating through the day with other activities
SUITABLE FOR: Keen Puzzlers, Geocachers and Pokemon finders

Team Tasks
A team-building favourite and used widely by the military to teach, assess and instil leadership in its people, our command tasks are ideal ‘ice-breaker’ activities. These comprise of a series of several short immersive ‘scenarios’ in which a team leader can be chosen, to then take their team through a set task.
No special skills are required, the scenarios are typically not overtly physical in nature and all equipment for the completion of the task is provided. The tasks are also all set at ground level, making them suitable for involvement of those with physical impairments also. We can mix up the leaders, appoint deputies and throw in curveballs along the way, all to test the team’s ability to work together as a cohesive unit.
SUITABLE FOR: Anyone up for the challenge

Treetop Challenges
Our tree climbing challenges present a perfect combo of adrenaline and team-building content, encouraging team-members to stretch their mental and physical limits, overcome fears (notably at height) and work together to solve physical and mental problems. All the while attached to the end of a rope should someone take a wobble.

Jacob's Ladder
Gladiator Challenge
Solo Tree Climb
AKA The Ego Destroyer, as this will soon quieten down the most confident or cocky among the group. ;)
This is a tough team task which sees the team work together to ascend a series of horizontal poles – the ‘ladder’ – which increase gradually in the distance between them. Exposure from height and working together as a team to solve this vertical conundrum is the name of the game here, whilst your team-mates belay you (that is, man the safety ropes) and issue instructions to assist from below.
We like to refer to this as an 'Upstacle Course, a series of obstacles arranged ‘vertically’ suspended from the treetops. Team members will be nominated to navigate the obstacles skyward while other members keep them safe on the ropes from below.
Channel your inner-squirrel to take on this 10 metre solo climb up the side of a big old chunk of a trunk.
Don't worry, you'll be safe on the end of a rope should you drop your nuts.
SUITABLE FOR: Those with reasonable strength to climb and confidence at heights
DURATION: 90 minutes
Prices start at £18 per head based on a minimum group size of 6.
A perfect combo sees the Treetop Challenges packaged with a preceding activity such as the epic assault course or command tasks. You can then follow it all up as a finale with an exciting blow-out on our Power Tower and/or our legendarily scary Walk-The-Plank.

Walk the Plank
Another Forest Facility exclusive, our Walk The Plank offers two levels at 3.5m & 7m high jumps over a purpose-built pool. It's a really good test for anyone looking to push themselves a little – as it does take some bottle to step off and accept your watery fate!
Buoyancy aids are provided and full safety cover is provided. This is an ideal way to crown your assault course experience or to crown your entire day at Forest Facility. Of course, you will get wet and afterwards you can make the short walk back to basecamp to hit the showers and change in our warm undercover changing rooms.

basecamp and de-kitting is around 1 hour.

Underground Escape Rooms
Another unique ‘look at us’ activity only to be found at Forest Facility. Escape Rooms are all the rage in city centres across the land, but we’ve taken a cheeky twist and buried ours underground. Our Secret Bunker Escape Room experience will see you descend into Old Man Jones’ bunker, then attempt to escape by working together and solving a load of clues hidden in plain sight by that dastardly fiend.
We have 2 identical Escape Room facilities; so we can cater for 16 people every hour. With a large group, we can of course rotate folk through different activities and can therefore cater to up to around 100 people/ day through the Escape Rooms.

Or go for an all-out raft race with other rafts and see who sinks; or swims…!
