Customer TESTIMONIALS

Choose from a range of Honister’s best activities for your team building away day

Blown away by how great our trip was. We did "climb the mine" and it was fab. Sofia ,12f, really enjoyed it too. It was like go ape but in an old slate mine which was very cool. Great scenery around the area. Lovely cafe and really unique stuff in the slate mine shop.

This was really incredible. Nothing like jumping off a mountain to make you feel brave. Really good guides kept us safe as we climbed through the mine. Great slate shop too

We did the adrenaline pass! 100% worth it! When we got to the free fall/jump at the end I was shaking like a leaf, felt like I couldn’t jump! But Matt our instructor calmed me down and give me the confidence to do it! I would have been gutted if I didn’t do it !!

I tried Via Ferrata Xtreme at Honister. It was a mind- blowing experience! The feeling and the each movement during the climbing is extraordinary beautiful. Once completed you feel such a wonderful accomplishment. Would def recommend especially for those who loves climbing.
