Description

A complete indoor and outdoor education facility set in the grounds of a former manor house in Ashford, Kent within easy reach of London and international transport links. One of our largest centres, Grosvenor Hall is perfect for larger groups and more advanced development programmes.

From the moment our visitors enter the gates, they are immersed in the high-adrenaline excitement of the centre as they pass the adventure park and the brand new lake! As they explore the centre our guests continue to discover everything Grosvenor Hall has to offer; including an indoor heated swimming pool and a 25,000 sq ft sports hall which caters for a wide range of indoor activities.

Kingswood residential centres are safe and secure destinations that create a great environment for students to express themselves. All have an authentic 'British' feel, from historic manor houses to contemporary state-of-the-art adventure complexes. Grosvenor Hall and Isle of Wight have trinity exam status, with Grosvenor Hall accredited by the British Council.

We deliver adventure and education programmes which are excellent value for money for groups and individuals. Above all, our focus is on the welfare of our young guests – their safety comes first – and the life changing experiences they gain through outdoor adventure.
