Ardnavally Scout Centre

What it’s like

A camping and outdoor activity site with a paddock field for group games, birthday parties and scout-style adventures.

This is a spot for camping and outdoor activity rather than a soft play or a museum, so picture tents, games and the sort of muddy fun that needs a paddock rather than a car park. The Paddock Field is where the group activities happen, and it sounds built for that: games, team stuff, the kind of running about that needs space rather than equipment.

Birthday parties and group bookings are both catered for here, which makes sense given the setup. If you're after a party that isn't another soft play run, this is the sort of place where you'd bring a group and let the field do the work. There's indoor seating and on-site food listed too, so you're not entirely at the mercy of the weather when it comes to eating.

It's not set up for dogs beyond service animals, so leave the family dog at home if you were planning to bring it along for the walk. Wifi is there if you need to check in with the office, and toilets are on site, which matters more than people admit when you've got a group of children running about a field all day.
