P4HE January Weekender 2025

Who: This is open to all aged 11to 18.  Where: The Sir John Lowther Scout Centre, Kettering, located within it’s own 10 acre woodland with an adjoining conservation area of meadows, woodland and fields.  When: 24th to 26th January  Overnighters, arrive from 5 p.m. Friday for a welcome and buffet dinner at 6 p.m., pick up 5 p.m. Sunday.  Those with Daytime tickets are asked to arrive by 9.15 a.m. for a 9.30 a.m. start, but you are welcome to join us for breakfast which is 8.30 a.m. each day. You can join us on Friday evening, or just for Saturday and Sunday. Please be picked up by 9 p.m. latest each evening – you can stay for dinner and the evening activities, or head off before dinner if you think someone else’s cooking will be better than ours.

​

You’ll probably find you want to stay for the meals as they’re sociable and the food is good.

How much:  £275 for full residential tickets.  £249 for earlybird tickets .  £150 for day tickets (all activities and meals, but staying elsewhere with family)

In all cases, payment of a £50 deposit secures your place.

Booking:  When you click through to booking, you can choose to pay a non-refundable holding deposit of £50 which will be followed by an invoice for the balance. Or you can choose one of the other three options described above. Full price for residential will be £275.  Booking will close and balances must be paid by 14th January.  We will be operating a waiting list. 

Where you’ll be sleeping:  You’ll be sleeping in rooms that have between 2 and 8 beds with those of the same gender and roughly same age. Non-binary people let us know what you’re comfortable with. The venue provides bedding EXCEPT PILLOWS. If you know someone else who is coming and you’d particularly like to share a room with them, let us know and we’ll do our best to make the jigsaw work.

What you'll be doing

These are mostly half-day courses, morning or afternoon, so you'll usually get to do four of them. In the evenings we’ll be doing other stuff either together or with choices you can make on the day.

​

Here's the full list of courses. We'll ask you to rank your choices so we can wrangle the schedule to give everyone as many of their top picks as we can.

....Hang on, we're still building the course programme . . . .
