Our centres

King’s Park Conference Centre – a modern Christian conference centre in the heart of Northamptonshire. Opened in 1990 by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother, King’s Park offers a range of superb facilities suitable for every event.

Church weekends, business conferences, breakfast meetings, working lunches and training events can be held on a day group or residential basis. Together with the adjacent Benham Sports Arena and Indoor / Outdoor Tennis Centre, King’s Park is an ideal venue for schools, youth groups and sports camps, as well as offering leisure activities for visiting groups.

Pioneer Centre is beautifully situated on the edge of the Wyre Forest, within easy reach of Birmingham and the nation’s motorway network; close enough to be accessible but far enough away to be on a different planet.

Pioneer Centre & Action Centres UK have a combined experience of over 55 years in looking after young people. Accommodation, adventure activities, lounges and dining rooms serviced by staff keen to help in anyway, ensure your stay is a most rewarding experience, whether it be a youth club of 24, an entire year group of 200 or International event for 300.

The Ranch Outdoor Discovery Centre exists to offer young people opportunities for exciting residential experiences all year round in the heart of Snowdonia - with an emphasis on personal discovery, education, safety and fun!

The Ranch is set on eleven acres of south west facing wooded hillside with panoramic views. The grounds contain wild rock crags, ponds, mountain streams and are criss-crossed with footpaths - it is a wonderful place to explore. The centre also has its own hard court sports area with internal re-bound walls and netting making it ideal for all kinds of ball games.
