The perfect party for train mad children. Let the train take the strain and enjoy a picturesque journey along the banks of Moors Lake with your friends and family. Then return to Kingsmere Station where you can have a picnic and watch the trains go by.

Gather your tribe and celebrate in style with a forest adventure at Go Ape Moors Valley. There’s a high ropes course suitable for all youngsters over 1m tall, plus Nets Adventure to add some bounce to your birthday.

Orienteering: An ideal team-building activity; either follow a pre-determined course or find as many markers as possible within a time limit.

Cycle Hire: Take a leisurely ride along the waymarked cycle trails or challenge yourself on our ‘through the forest’ singletrack route.

Go Ape Tree Top Adventure: As well as being great for family and friends, Go Ape is also a brilliant way to escape the office. Get in touch with the Go Ape Events Team to get your team out in the forest. You can rely on the friendly staff to guarantee you a day out to remember. Your day could include the ‘classic’ Tree Top Adventure, Forest Segway, shelter hire and much more. Email ku.oc.epaogobfsctd@spuorg or visit the Go Ape website.

Golf: Everyone is welcome to play on the Moors Valley 18-hole golf course. The Golf Club at the Golf Centre also serves food and has a licensed bar.
