Frequently Asked Questions
-
What should my child/children wear/bring?
The most important thing is that participants wear clothes that are fine to get wet and dirty, but will also be warm, dry and comfortable.
Before the visit you will be issued with a suggested kit list but don’t worry if your child doesn’t have the exact clothing listed. We have a small selection of boots, wellies and waterproofs which can be borrowed if necessary!
We recommend that any valuable items/electronics/phones are left at home for safekeeping.
-
What food is served?
It is really important that everyone eats at every mealtime, as the activities that the groups will take part in are physically demanding.
Breakfast is usually continental style and will include cereal, fruit and toast/croissants, but hot options can be requested by the school/group at the time of booking (if the Pendle Hill Walk is part of the booked programme children will be given a hot option on that day).
As most of the activities take place on-site, lunch is served in the dining hall and will vary from day to day. Across a typical week lunch includes sandwiches, paninis, jacket potatoes with a choice of fillings or soup and a roll. There will be a snack, cake and/or fruit to follow.
Participants will be asked to play a part in choosing the menu for the week in advance of their stay.
We can cater for all dietary needs/allergies and if you would like to discuss any specific needs your child has, please feel free to contact us on 01282 615688.

What are the sleeping arrangements?
Most visiting groups sleep in dormitories. The dorms are split into male and female buildings and also have staff accommodation incorporated.
In each room there will be a bunk bed and a single bed. There will also be a sink, a large wardrobe and drawers. A duvet, pillow and bed linen are all provided.
Toilets and showers are situated at the end of the dormitory block. All the showers and toilets are in separate cubicles.

Is there phone reception or internet access?
Whitehough is in a rural area, and phone signal can be intermittent, but there is WiFi available onsite.
