OutdoorLads Family Christmas 2021

Four nights with OutdoorLads over actual Christmas!

Yes....we are BACK for 2021! Family Christmas returns in style as we make our location even more awesome than previous years!  Simon will host you in the cosiness of the old vicarage. Our accommodation has two comfy lounges, a big dining room, masses of bedrooms space (15 rooms spread across the building!), a peaceful location and lovely local walks, perfect place to spend Christmas. Dig out your Christmas Jumper and join us for a fantastic 4 nights over the festive period.

We will have all of the usual laughs, games and a belly or two's full of home cooked food.  If you fancy walking, then our setting is perfect for some hills or just a stroll around the valley.  Alternatively, put your feet up with some mulled cider and read a book or take in a film or play a board game.

With a short stroll on Christmas Day and then perhaps something more of a decent walk to explore some of the sights of the Wye Valley on Boxing Day. We will also have another local walk on the 27th and mix it up with some local ODL members. We're right in the heart of the Wye Valley, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with it's excellent road and mountain biking routes and even a private launch onto the river. So maybe bring your bike or a canoe if you fancy something different.

This event truly does enshrine all of the magic of what OutdoorLads does. After over a year of lockdowns, a difficult time for many, we don't want anyone to be alone or stuck in the family cycle on Christmas, it may just be that you fancy doing something a little different this year.. so get us in your diary and we will see you there!
