WELCOME to Patteson Lodge Activity Centre where you can relax and enjoy a large variety of activities.  The Centre is situated in the heart of rural Norfolk only 12 miles from the beautiful North Norfolk coastline to the north and the city of Norwich 8 miles to the south.

As well as the opportunity for visits there is an extensive list of activities available on site and within walking distance. 

The Centre was opened in 1982 on land given to guiding by the Patteson sisters who devoted their lives to working with young people in fun and friendship. They were known by their guiding friends as Badger and Beaver and you can find out more about their story when you visit the Lodge. We now have paid staff who work very hard to keep a welcome for every visitor.
