Employers, visitors and donors often tell us: ‘There’s something about being here that changes you. It’s hard to explain, but if you could bottle that feeling, everyone would want it.’

We want more people to get this feeling, so we’re opening our doors throughout the year. Come and spend some time at Eskdale and experience Outward Bound first-hand. Maybe turn it into a weekend in the Lakes?

If you're responsible for developing apprentices or early career talent, you know the difference real-world experience makes. At Outward Bound, we don’t just talk about growth, we create it. And now, we’re opening our doors so you can see it for yourself.

Open Days are your opportunity to visit our Eskdale centre, hosted by a member of our Early Careers team, and get a behind-the-scenes look at how we deliver lasting impact for apprentices and young talent.

Why Visit?

  • Walk the grounds where transformation happens
  • See first-hand how our programmes build resilience, confidence, and teamwork
  • Get tailored insight into how we can align your programme with apprenticeship standards, graduate schemes, organisational values and behaviours that lead to success for your people and your organisation
  • Ask questions, explore the experience, and understand the value beyond the brochure

Whether you’re reviewing provision, planning for next year, or exploring how to make your budget go further, Open Fridays offer a no-pressure, high-value way to explore what Outward Bound can do for your apprentices.

Book your Open Day now by speaking to your account manager, or fill out the form to start your enquiry. 

Spaces are limited to keep the experience personal and focused.
