Sports Tours in Lancashire

Set in the heart of the Forest of Bowland near the west coast, this woodland retreat is located amidst some famous traditional Rugby towns making it a fantastic venue for a mini-rugby tour.

Centred around the Winmarleigh Hall and Victorian Estate, the 50 acres of parkland, lakes and woodland hide a host of activities and adventures that are waiting to be discovered.

You will be accommodated in the Victorian Mansion in rooms ranging from 4-10 beds. All rooms are en-suite. Alternatively, you will stay in the recently renovated Stables in smaller en-suite rooms. All meals will be served in the newly refurbished on-site dining room.

The site is just thirty minutes from Blackpool and its many famed attractions, including the excellent Pleasure Beach theme park. A trip here would be a great added extra on the last afternoon of your tour before you head home in the evening.

The location near Preston on the M6 Motorway makes it the ideal destination for teams travelling from the North-East or West Midlands.

The Rugby Experience on Tour

The focus of any tour is the sporting experience you will undertake.  At Sky High Sports we are passionate about providing our clients with a Rugby experience on tour that provides evenly contested games, exceptional hospitality and fixture arrangements that are tailored exactly to your requirements.

We maintain an element of flexibility with your fixtures. While the itinerary above describes single matches, we would insist on arranging a multi-team round robin or tournament for you during the tour. We have developed extensive contacts across our locations and remain confident that we can make this happen for you. Extra fixtures and training sessions at local clubs are available throughout the weekend.

Activity Time!

They don't just keep you busy and fill-time, the are a fantastic way to build confidence, increase team morale, have some fantastic fun and tire the kids out so the parents can be free in the evening!
