This year, why not experience an alternative family holiday away from the distractions of everyday life and spend some quality time together?

With PGL Family Adventures thats exactly what you get! Something thats fun, stimulating and full of great memories. Meet like-minded families who share the desire to try new and exciting things whilst having a great time together as a family. Watch your childrens confidence grow and your own as you take part in family team activities by day, and enjoy sociable evenings relaxing together by night.

With over 50 years experience and a winning formula which families love, we specialise in running activity holidays and creating special memories that last a lifetime.

We want you to get a real feeling of our holidays because we are so proud of what we do. Thats why we create our brochures using our own customers feedback, we only use photographs of real families who have bought our holidays, not models and we let our holidays do the talking for us!

All you need to do is scan them with the camera on your smartphone or tablet using a 'QR Reader' app and they will take you to relevant pages on our brand new website!

We understand the importance of family time We know how important spending quality time together as a family is. Most of us have children of our own so its personal and we understand how work, school and daily activities can sometimes get in the way of the time we have together as a family. Our holidays are designed to bring families closer, strengthen relationships and build confidence together through challenge and adventure.

Youll wake up as a family and go to sleep as a family, with the days in-between packed full of our exhilarating activity programme. PGL Family Adventures are fantastic for the whole family to try fun, new activities no matter how diverse your interests. You don't need any experience or be super fit to join in. With our holidays you'll get time away from all the daily stresses with no TV, tablets or phones to distract you from what really matters you and your family.

altogether more informationWhats the accommodation like? Do I need to bring my own bedding?Our accommodation is clean and functional rather than luxurious. Most rooms have bunk beds. Bedding is supplied (with the exception of tents at Domaine de Segries and on the overnight bivouac at Lou Valagran). You need to bring your own towels.

Rooms are either en-suite or have a private bathroom nearby for the exclusive use of your family. You will not have to share a bathroom with another family, with the exception of The Campsite at Boreatton Park, cabins at Lou Valagran and the Tented Village at Domaine de Segries. All tented/cabin accommodation has shower/toilet blocks for the exclusive use of family guests.

We offer a choice of rooms for smaller families with no low-occupancy charges. Where these are not available an additional supplement may apply, depending on room type and family size. Accommodation varies slightly at each centre. Please contact us for full details.

What kind of food can I expect on a PGL holiday?Weve worked closely with leading catering organisations to develop a simple, balanced diet, where even the fussiest eater should still feel comfortable particularly after a busy day of activities. We provide three healthy, high-energy meals per day that support the 5-a-day campaign and reduce added salt, sugar and fat where possible.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner will usually be served in the dining room, although at some centres there may be an occasional evening barbecue.

Meals will always include a vegetarian option and we will try to provide a taste of local cuisine whenever possible. At overseas centres a glass of wine will be available for parents to enjoy with their evening meal (drinks will also be available to purchase). Tea and coffee are available throughout the day in the lounge area and at some centres we provide tea and coffee making facilities in your room.

What time can I check in/out?Check-in time on a seven night holiday is usually between 4-6pm and guests will usually need to check out of their rooms between 9-11am on the day of departure (times may differ for shorter breaks depending on centre).

I have a child under five can I bring them along on a PGL holiday?Under fives are welcome, and now travel for free on Multi Activity holidays, but will not be able to take part in many activities. Five and six year olds will be able to participate in most activities subject to assessment by PGL instructors. We regret that we are unable to provide a child care service for children not taking part in activities. Baby equipment, including highchairs, are available at some centres please ask at time of booking.

Will there be anyone other than families at the centre whilst Im there?There may be some other children or groups on holiday at the centre whilst you are there. These guests are supervised by PGL staff and will have a separate activity programme, accommodation and social facilities.

Compensation will be paid as detailed right if we have to make a major change to your holiday within 8 weeks of holiday commencement, unless the change is due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to war, riot, civil commotion, act of God, industrial dispute, Government action, epidemic, disease, adverse weather or natural disaster.56-29 days 10% of holiday price28-15 days 15% of holiday price14 days or less 25% of holiday priceThe price of your holiday is subject to surcharge due to unforeseen increases in fuel costs, Government imposed increases e.g. changes in VAT or adverse currency exchange rate variations.

booking conditions

It is important that everyone travelling with PGL has holiday insurance. Experience has shown that standard policies do not cover all our activities, e.g. motorsports, abseiling and rifle shooting. For your protection, therefore, we have arranged a special policy with Union Reiseversicherung AG. PGL insurance includes the following benefits as long as claims fall within the terms and conditions of the policy: Cover for all activities organised by PGL Personal accident up to 25,000 Medical and other expenses up to 5 million for overseas holidays and up to 10,000 (other expenses only) for the UK

Cancellation charges up to 5,000 (1,000 UK trips)

Luggage up to 1,500. Single item 250. Valuables limit 250

Personal money up to 500 (200 for under 18s)

Personal liability up to 1 million Unused activities at 20 per day (up to a maximum of 240)

Full details of our insurance cover can be found on our website or can be sent to you upon request. Please note that cancellation cover comes into force when you pay the appropriate premiums. Some of the above sections are subject to 50 (35 UK) excess (up to 250 excess for legal expenses). Please read the Key Insurance Points statement that follows.Clients not purchasing our insurance will be asked to complete an Insurance Indemnity Form issued on the advice of ABTA.
