What a brilliant return to normality for the Centre since September last year. We have welcomed back lots of old and new faces over the last few months and to be able to deliver outdoor courses once again has been phenomenal. Here's looking ahead to your continued support😀

📢 More new things to showcase! 📢

Hi everyone! Over the Autumn we've been busy once again, adding some more refurbishments to the ever-expanding list at Govilon. Ordinarily, of course, we would be running back-to-back schools programmes at this time of year. All these sparkly additions and centre makeovers mean that we'll be raring to go again when the time is right, though!

Our regular/more frequent visitors will notice that the drying room no longer looks like an air raid shelter (which it once was.) And male staff bedroom residents will no longer be required to carry out ablutions under a 14ft ceiling!

Here's hoping everyone is doing OK throughout these continued times of difficulty. We can't wait to see you next year. Onwards and upwards!

Further to the announcement from the Welsh Government earlier this week, we will be closed from Friday, 23rd October until Monday, 09th November.

You can still reach us by email, using [email protected]

We look forward to seeing people again very soon!

A few photos from a recent family experience at Govilon! Much fun was had by all on these adventures in the Brecon Beacons.

We are still able to offer activity days and staycations to same/extended household family groups from non-lockdown areas. As always, we continue to operate in-line with all the latest Government coronavirus guidelines and restrictions.

We're excited to announce that we’re now OPEN again, for small self-catering parties from single households and extended family! In addition, we’re delivering day activities to small, organised groups. For now, we’re offering rock climbing, abseiling, canoeing, bush craft and guided mountain walks, the perfect escape into nature for families and couples. We hope to add caving and archery to the list soon!

We've undertaken a risk analysis of our whole operation, and have a robust Novel Coronavirus/COVID-19 policy in place. We’ve also achieved Government “We’re Good to GO” status and the Kaddi “Staying COVID-19 Secure” award.

Recent research shows the majority of the UK population have exercised more often during lockdown, and it's clear that people are benefiting from the effects of being outdoors 🌳. Please email us on [email protected] if you'd like to know more. We look forward to welcoming people back to Govilon, with thanks for your ongoing support! 🙂

As well as having someone in to fit our new windows recently, our very own Dai (instructor aficionado and groundsman/maintenance extraordinaire) has been busy, too! Although, our (also new) CCTV did reveal an abnormal amount of tea drinking 😏. Still, he's done a great job, hasn't he? Thanks Dai. Tidy!

Slowly but surely, and strictly in-line with Government guidelines, we're preparing to re-open bookings for family staycations and weekend getaways. Please stay posted for more information, and thank you for your ongoing support.

From all of us here at Govilon. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Hi everyone! 👋

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 situation, we remain closed until further notice. We will post updates as they become available, but please get in touch if you wish to discuss anything.

In the meantime, the Centre is basking in the glorious Welsh sunshine! We remain high-spirited and we look forward to reopening when the time is right.

Those of you who know the Centre well, can you spot anything new? 👀😀
