Go Ape in Northumberland has confirmed its first ever adults-only night time sessions for this summer, offering those aged 18 and over a chance to 'level up' their week nights with a high ropes adventure. The popular attraction, nestled in the grounds of a stunning country estate in Matfen, invites adults to engage in team building and bonding activities.
Session Details and Schedule
The adults-only sessions will run from Thursday and Friday evenings from July 1 to July 31, 4-8pm, and on Thursdays and Fridays in August from 5-8pm. The focus is on the Treetop Challenge, which features five thrilling sections with obstacles of increasing daring. Participants can take on five epic zip wires up to 160 metres long, the 'skateboard' zip, and the legendary Tarzan Swing.
According to Go Ape, the experience is designed to swap queuing at the bar for flying on a zip line, offering an alternative way to socialise after work. A teaser reads: 'Swap queuing at the bar for flying by on a zipline. It's the only way to really hang out with your mates after work. It's time to take the day offline, reeeeally offline and switch that out-of-office on.'
Pricing and Location
The Treetop Challenge costs £36.95 per person, with tickets available online. A 15% discount is offered as part of a summer promotion. The Matfen site is less than a half-hour drive from Newcastle, with a direct one-hour bus (the 74) from Newcastle Eldon Square to Matfen Village, followed by a 20-minute walk to Go Ape.
Go Ape was founded in 2002 by Rebecca and Tristram Mayhew. It has grown to 36 locations across England, Scotland, and Wales, offering high ropes and forest floor adventures.
