There is something for everyone at Hatfield Outdoor Activity Centre in Doncaster, the number one place for those seeking fun in the great outdoors! 

We host a range of water-based activities on our very own lake, including kayaking, canoeing and stand-up paddleboarding. We also have an inflatable Aquapark, which has recently expanded and will soon be open for bookings from May 19th 2023. You can also enjoy a swim in our natural lake pool, the newest addition to our growing number of water activities.

For those who prefer to stay dry, you can challenge yourself to reach new heights on our 14-metre-high climbing wall; we have plenty of aerial challenges and obstacle courses for you to complete off the ground. If you prefer to keep your feet on the ground, you can find your thrills at an axe-throwing or archery session. You can learn how to throw axes at a target and how to use a bow safely. Awe-throwing is available to book now and archery will be available very soon.

All our sessions, both water and land, are taught by experienced instructors in a safe and welcoming environment. For anyone wishing to extend their visit and wake to another exciting day of activities, we have a campsite too.
