Join #TeamAcorns and button up your Santa Suit for an adrenaline-filled start to the festive season! Take on Europe’s tallest high ropes while fundraising for local children and families this Christmas.
At 65 feet tall, this is the tallest high ropes course in Europe, and rewards those brave enough to reach the top with stunning views of the surrounding area. With its free-roam structure, you and your family can create your own adventure and select which of the 36 obstacles to take on, from simple rope bridges to the challenging rolling log on the course’s top level!
We’ll combine your high ropes experience with an exhilarating zipline for the perfect start to the festive season and incredible family day out.
Overcome fears and share in the excitement together, while raising funds to support local life limited and life threatened children, and their families, this Christmas.
Registrations close 20 November 2024 so sign up now to avoid disappointment!
