Stanley Head is owned and run by Stoke-on-Trent City Council and continues to be considered one of the ‘jewels in the crown’ for the Local Authority.
We deliver a real mixture of activities, courses and programmes here ranging from out-and-out activity days to delivering the School Curriculum.
The age of our guests ranges from four years through to retirement due to the diverse nature of our programmes - so there really is something for everybody. We have enough indoors accommodation for groups of up to 71 at any one time - which you can read more about here. Our conference facility also provides an excellent resource for local companies and services to deliver training and hold meetings.
The centre itself is set in 30 acres, consisting of the buildings, extensive camping fields and some of the most rich and diverse woodland in Staffordshire filled with wildlife. On the edge of the centre is Stanley Reservoir, an excellent natural resource that the centre has unlimited access to and uses for a variety of activities and challenges.
We are fortunate to have resident owls at Stanley Head. These owls have been rescued and could not survive in the wild. We also have a brood of free range hens and a badling of free range ducks that roam around the grounds.
We look forward to welcoming you to our centre and hope you’ll agree with us in thinking that Stanley Head really is a friendly, fun and exciting place to visit.
