Nature and Outdoor

Pony driving for disabled children and young people – come and try an exciting, unusual sport with a professional trainer who will teach and show you how to drive a pony around a field. If you would like you can also try grooming a pony and meet the other animals who live with them. We will ask you to wear a hard hat (provided) when on the carriage with your trainer. We have carriages that are accessible if you are a wheelchair user or have poor mobility. If the weather is bad, we do pony driving in a covered arena.

Party on the Pitch is a family event that gives young people the opportunity to take part in a range of different activities. The event will include bubble football, gel master, bouncy castle, treasure hunt, rounders, arts and crafts and much more. Families are encouraged to come up and enjoy the day. The aim of the event is to bring people together and it also coincides with the start of our Common Riding week. We will also have a visit from the front three on the day.

Join the Glenkens Youth Group at an exciting day of outdoor activities at the Galloway Activity Centre. Have a play on the wobbly waterpark, an inflatable water assault course, that is guaranteed to be a whole lot of fun. Battle it out in a game of laser tag, set outdoors in the woods. You can also try your hand at archery! Lunch will be provided at the lovely Waterfront Café. Free transport available from Dalry and New Galloway. Places limited to 15, priority will be given to young people from the Glenkens.
