What is ROAM?

ROAM is an outdoor activity centre. We offer a variety of activities (including forest school) for all ages including: school visits; Parent/toddler sessions; Home Education; Birthday parties & private bookings; Adult cooking and wellbeing sessions; Team building sessions and more…

Who are we?

ROAM was established in 2018 by Aaron, Rich and Tony.

Aaron is a qualified forest school leader. He has experience working with children in schools prior to setting up ROAM as well as a background working as a qualified chef (which explains why our food is so tasty!) and running a successful wine business for 20 years!

Rich is a former primary school teacher as well as being a qualified forest school leader. He has worked in schools and with children for the past 13 years. Rich understands the needs of children and schools well and applies that to facilitate fun and engaging sessions.  

Tony served the community as a police sergeant for 30 years. He keeps the business in order! Tony works excellently with children and adults alike and will likely be your first port of call when contacting us at ROAM.

Where are we?

ROAM is set within a private 10 acre woodland on the Dillington Estate, Near Ilminster, Somerset. There is parking on site.

We are located at the Dillington Estate Office and Farms (please note: we are NOT at Dillington House).

For directions, please do not use the postcode, instead type in “ROAM Outdoors Activity Centre” in Google Maps and this will take you directly to our car park,

What are ROAM’s values?

At ROAM, we aim to inspire individuals of all ages through positive outdoor experiences where people are given the time and space to develop a deep and expressive relationship with the natural world.

Consequently, our sessions are generally relaxed and fairly informal - a feature many enjoy and relay to us when providing feedback. (see our Facebook page for reviews)
