About Us

The warmest of welcomes awaits you at Pioneer Centre.

Pioneer Centre is beautifully situated on the edge of the Wyre Forest, within easy reach of Birmingham and the nation’s motorway network; close enough to be accessible but far enough away to be on a different planet.

Pioneer Centre & Action Centres UK have a combined experience of over 55 years in looking after young people. Accommodation, adventure activities, lounges and dining rooms serviced by staff keen to help in anyway, ensure your stay is a most rewarding experience, whether it be a youth club of 24, an entire year group of 200 or International event for 300.

Visitors come from Christian, education, charity, and community sectors with Pioneer Centre comfortably accommodating a number of groups at the same time.

The UK’s premier venue for your adventure, training or group holiday requirements… at any time of year!

Curriculum enrichment or simply fun, you choose.

In 2004/5 the breathtaking design of Gilmour Lodge took facilities for youth events in the UK to new heights. Purpose built and specially designed, no effort has been spared to provide a superb standard of accommodation for up to 306 people all under one roof. With its 79 en-suite bedrooms, all facilities under one roof and easy road access, the time of year you choose need no longer be a barrier to the achievement your young people experience. In fact, with seasonal discounts you can also make it cheaper making it more accessible.

The five en-suite accommodation wings also allow a number of smaller groups to remain separate and individually cared for whilst taking full advantage of Pioneer Centre’s outstanding Canadian theme.
