At Fairthorne Manor, we are a community charity first and foremost – and that is why we pride ourselves on having schools visit us again and again. Around 75% of schools that come to Fairthorne Manor for their residential trip have been for at least 2 consecutive years- a further testament to how much schools love their time with us.
The big question however is: why do schools choose Fairthorne Manor over the competition?
Our Offering
We have a huge range of activities available across our 95-acre site, giving schools the flexibility to build a residential experience that meets their objectives. From adventurous outdoor challenges and team-building activities to environmental learning and personal development opportunities, there is something for every group.
Our Values
As a charitable organisation dedicated to supporting children and young people, our focus has always been on making outdoor adventures accessible to as many pupils as possible. We regularly have funding opportunities and exclusive discounts to help schools ensure that no child misses out on the chance to experience a residential trip with their friends.
Currently, we are offering 33% off school residential trips taking place between November 2026 and March 2027 – Find out More Here!
Our Pricing
We believe in providing excellent value for money through fair and transparent pricing. Returning schools benefit from first refusal on future bookings, allowing them to secure their preferred dates well in advance. We also aim to avoid significant year-on-year price increases, helping schools plan confidently and maintain residential opportunities for future cohorts.
Our Team
One of the biggest reasons schools return to Fairthorne Manor is our people. Our friendly and experienced team is passionate about creating safe, enjoyable, and meaningful experiences for every child who visits. From the first enquiry through to the final day of the trip, schools are supported by staff who genuinely care about delivering an exceptional experience.
We take pride in going the extra mile to understand each group’s needs and ensure every visit is a success.
When schools choose Fairthorne Manor, they’re not just booking a residential – they’re partnering with a charity and a team committed to helping young people learn, grow, and create memories that last a lifetime.
