Dedicated Activity Site
Phoenix is the name of our site, where we run activities and groups. It is located on the rural outskirts of South Petherton. We have created a unique community facility, which offers three styles of session:
– Rama Life run sessions:
Holiday Club, Toddlers, Youth Club, Life Skills, Bushcraft, Art, Home Ed and more.
– Facilitated sessions for community groups (Guides, WI, Youth Clubs, Scouts etc)
Archery, Teambuilding games, Outdoor cooking, Campfires…
– Site and/or equipment hire for community groups (as above)
Book in for a couple of hours or a day and enjoy exclusive use of the field, campfire area and self-run activities. Our caretaker will check the site and lock up afterwards.
The site is only accessible on a pre-booked basis. If you have any questions or would like to visit the site before booking, please get in touch.
Phoenix is located at Watergore Farm, Moor Lane, TA13 5JQ. This post code takes you to the area but not the front gate so please check out the map at the bottom of this page or use the “what three words“: fountain.stereos.merge.
A note about the site: Phoenix used to be a farm. We have risk assessed the area, put in safety measures and signs and all sessions will start with a safety briefing. We expect all attendees to follow safety instructions and respect the site.
Phoenix – about the name.
Sometimes it can feel like there is no possibility of change or development within ourselves or our situation, or that we have made choices that we feel we cannot move on from.
The Phoenix bird is associated with the idea of regeneration, reminding us that we can experience adversity or feelings of failure and rise up, make changes and move forward.
Rama Life promote lifelong learning, self-development, self-reflection and that every ‘failure’ is an opportunity for progression.
