Schools

School groups return year after year to Bassenfell, having fantastic residential experiences. We still have a few midweek’s available for more school group residentials in 2011/2012  and beyond. With 69 bed spaces, 4 acres of ground and set in one of the most beautiful areas of Britain, Bassenfell Manor is an ideal centre for a school group residential.

We offer activities in the grounds of Bassenfell (onsite) and out on the local fells and lakes (offsite). All relevant activities are fully licensed: AALA registration number L8207/R0157. Also you have the option of self catering or Bassenfell catering.

Bespoke programmes are created to include your catering requirements, outdoor activities and educational visits.  Every group is presented with a Christian 'thought for the day' which shares our faith in our amazing God in a interactive fun way relevant to the activities to be undertaken that day.
