Education outside the classroom, home and work will be greatly enhanced by choosing The Kingswood Trust as your preferred venue. The ORB and our Main Centre buildings are set in nine acres of striking woodland in the Staffordshire countryside, with access to a range of other local attractions.

The Orb

The ORB deserves a special mention. Designed with a Danish theme and nature inspired feel, the ORB offers a home from home. Providing day and residential accommodation for up to 16 people, the ORB is perfect for family gatherings, retreats, team days, smaller parties, training, clubs and meetings as well as smaller school group residentials.

We ensure a clean and relaxed environment for your stay. Our accommodation includes: a large dining orc meeting area with free Wi-Fi; accessible bathrooms with baby changing facilities and showers; fully equipped kitchen; cosy wood burner and sofa area.
The Orb has been refurbished to provide five star quality modern accommodation, while retaining its olden day charm.

Each of the three bedrooms have bunk beds with one room having two single beds and access alarms for people with disabilities. A rayburn cooker in the kitchen and log burner in the lounge area is backed up by central heating throughout all rooms making this a perfect base throughout the winter months as well as offering exciting natural surroundings throughout the seasons.

Education outside the classroom provides an opportunity to improve wellbeing and our visitors spend lots of time outdoors, engaged in active or practical pursuits. You won’t be short for something to do on our interesting site, available throughout your stay. We also have a selection of books, games and activities to keep your group entertained when you’re not outside exploring the woodland.

The dining or meeting area has a large tabled area, with flexibility to change the layout to suit your needs with seating for 16 people. Set up a family dining area or meeting style arrangement.

If you have a larger group to accommodate, you can hire our Main Centre.
