Welcome to the Rugged Outdoors where we pride ourselves on delivering a comprehensive range of exciting and quality activities to suit everyone’s needs.
We are based between Helmsley and Harome at Rye House Farm on a beautiful piece of land.
We run courses and activities that cover everything from Den Building to Fire Lighting and from Back Woods Cooking to Knife Skills.
Our parties are great value for money things like Nerf wars, Harry Potter Wand making, Bushcraft skills and archery hunting is really popular where the kids use padded arrows to fire at animals printed on boards.
With access to 11 acres of grassland and have a river running along the bottom of our venue attracts a myriad of wild life in fact we have just seen the first Egrets arriving and they are a real spectacle.
