Hudnall Park is a versatile multipurpose venue and outdoor education centre set in 85 acres of beautiful parkland, private woodland and meadows, five miles from Hemel Hempstead in the west of Hertfordshire.
We offer tailor-made programmes of activities designed to develop young people’s social, emotional and physical skills in a safe and supportive environment.
This summer we are offering free adventurous outdoor activities to young people aged 13-19 with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), including those with social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) needs. The activities are funded by Hertfordshire County Council Short Breaks and young people are eligible up to the year they turn 19 if they are in full time education. You don't need to register for Short Breaks to attend.
