Birmingham’s Hidden Outdoor Adventure

Ackers Adventure is a charity that exists to promote and engage people of all ages, abilities and disabilities in the regular pursuit of outdoor adventure activities.

We are an outdoor activity centre located in Birmingham just 2 miles from the city centre and are easily accessible by car and public transport! Join in with the fun and excitement by choosing any of our activities.

All of our activities take part in over 75 acres of diverse landscape and habitats ranging from open grassland, woodland and marsh cut through by the River Cole, the Grand Union Canal, and Mainline Railways. This creates a fascinating area to have a great outdoor adventure. We are described as a hidden urban oasis, a green gem that overlooks Birmingham city centre.

  • a 100 metre long ski slope, with nursery slopes and a 25 metre toboggan slope
  • 3 climbing walls including a 20 metre high tower which also homes our zip wire and fan descender
  • a fully equipped, self-catering residential centre
  • a canal basin perfect for canoeing, kayaking and bellboating
  • also 2 archery ranges, team building field, bushcraft survival zone and much more!
