October Holiday Scheme is coming
Every school holiday LOPC offers childcare provision like no other.
From climbing and paddlesports to team games and outdoor challenges, each day is packed with engaging activities designed to build confidence, skills, and friendships in a safe and supportive environment.
Each different school holiday has it's own unique twist with different environments, weather and themes.
With experienced instructors, flexible booking options, and a focus on fun and wellbeing, it’s the perfect way to keep children active, entertained, and inspired over the holidays.

Kayak and Stand Up Paddle Board Hire

Green Adventures is here!
We’re excited to launch Green Adventures, a new section of our website that brings together Leicester Outdoor Pursuits Centre’s commitment to sustainability, environmental learning and responsible outdoor adventure. Green Adventures showcases how we care for our site, reduce our impact, and inspire young people, schools, communities and partners to connect with nature and protect the environment for the future.
Community Fund
At Leicester Outdoor Pursuits Centre (LOPC), we believe outdoor adventure should be for everyone.
That’s why we’ve created the Community Fund—a dedicated initiative to help people who face barriers to accessing our activities experience the joy, challenge, and learning opportunities that the outdoors can offer.
