Company Details

About the centre
The centre is ideally situated to the North East of London where the suburbs become greenbelt countryside. Even so Upminster tube station is 5 minutes from the centre and 25 minutes from the city on the District Line. The 370 bus stops right outside the main gate. The M25 is a mere 10 minutes drive away (junction 29) and the Dartford crossing 15 minutes drive. Besides the delights of the city we boast two of the biggest retail centres in the country within 20 minutes drive (Lakeside and Bluewater).

Stubbers Adventure Centre
Since 1996 Stubbers has been an independent centre set up as a not for profit company with charity status. Although it has charitable status the centre receives no funding other than revenue and donations for new projects. The centre is growing fast in both the number of visitors and the facilities available. On our busiest days there could be up to 550 adventurers on activities at any one time. The centre covers 130 acres of green belt land. The site has been landscaped specifically for the purpose of outdoor pursuits. We are able to deliver a full multi activity programme without needing to go off site. We have a residential building that accommodates 48 adventurers. In the summer up to 300 adventurers can be accommodated in camping villages.

Activity areas
The activity facilities at the centre include two 22 acre lakes for sailing and motor sports with a smaller lake for paddle sport training. Water based activities include Jet ski driving, Sailing, Stand up paddle boarding and Bell Boats. Towers activities include two outdoor climbing walls, a High Ropes Course including several Traditional Rope course challenges and a Quick Jump descender. Land based activities include All Terrain Boarding and Laser Tag and finally our Motor sports activities include 4x4 dual control Land Rover Discovery’s.

Our Adventurers
Schools and Youth organisations comprise the main body of our adventurers and in the holidays we run SMASH activity camps, which are very popular with the local children. We provide programmes for special need groups including behavioural difficulties. The centre also provides outdoor development programmes and fun events for adults and companies too. Clubs Stubbers runs its own Paddle sports and Sailing clubs on weekday evenings. There is also an independent Sailing Club that operates here at weekends.
