For thirty years the QE2 Activity Centre has been providing activity opportunities for people with special needs. At the Centre skilled instructors introduce our visitors to a range of activities that they may not have had the opportunity to experience before, including canoeing, climbing, archery, ropes course and team challenges. Around the Centre is 400 acres of woodland and farmland, making up the Manor Farm Country Park – the best kind of classroom in the world!

There's a wide range of activities available, all designed to be challenging but achievable, geared to a range of abilities.

• Canoeing and raft building on the upper reaches of the Hamble using open canoes. QE2 Activity Centre is a BCU Approved Centre and is licensed by AALS for these activities.
• A 22ft wheelchair accessible pontoon boat used to take groups on the Hamble River from the river mouth to the tidal limit.

• Climbing, on a series of indoor walls.
• Archery, indoor and outdoor range, using a variety of bows.
• Ropes course, zipwire, problem solving and team challenge activities.

• Environmental activities - with 200 acres of woodland and a similar amount of farmland, plus half a mile of river frontage the QE2 Activity Centre is an ideal venue for all kinds of environmental activity.
• Orienteering – we have developed photo trails and pictorial maps and are now looking at geocacheing as the next stage in orienteering.
• Bushcraft – understanding the environment and using it sympathetically to carry out bushcraft activities.
