Let Us Introduce Ourselves!

The Story of Pooles Wharf Outdoor Activity Centre:

Since its inception in July 2000, the Pooles Wharf Outdoor Activity Centre has evolved into a vibrant hub of excitement and learning for young people and the young at heart. What began as a response to the increasing demand within the community-based youth clubs under the Avon & Bristol Federation of Clubs for Young People, now Young Bristol, has blossomed into a haven for outdoor adventures.

With each passing year, we at Pooles Wharf have remained dedicated to providing a plethora of water and land-based activities, fostering a spirit of exploration and camaraderie. We are proud to be celebrating over two decades of creating unforgettable memories and empowering young people through thrilling experiences in the great outdoors.

Today, we’re proud to be recognised as one of Bristol’s premier providers of Adventurous Activities, offering a wide range of thrilling experiences. This reputation is a testament to our team of dedicated and highly experienced instructors, who are committed to ensuring every participant has a safe and unforgettable adventure.
