School Sports Day & Assault Course | The Ultimate Dorset Challenge

Relive the glory days of the playground—then take it to a whole new level. Our School Sports Day & Assault Course experience is the ultimate nostalgic mash-up. We’ve taken the classic games you remember and dropped them into our 40-acre adventure site, adding a grueling, muddy obstacle finale that would make your old PE teacher proud.

Located just 15 minutes from Dorchester, 20 minutes from Poole and Weymouth, and 40 minutes from Bournemouth, this is Dorset’s top-rated choice for groups who aren’t afraid to get a little bit competitive (and a lot bit muddy).

The “Old School” Competition

Relive the Rivalry | 2.5 to 4 Hour Experience Forget the gentle school field; this is high-stakes competition led by our energetic “PE Teacher” host who will keep your group in line and the rivalry at boiling point.

  • Classic Games: Face off in Sack Races, Egg and Spoon, Three-Legged Races, and the ultimate test of strength—the Tug of War.

  • Team Relays: Coordination and speed are key as you battle through surprise playground challenges.

  • The PE Teacher: Our hosts take the role seriously—expect banter, whistles, and non-stop encouragement to push your team to the podium.
