Our out of school activities can be arranged at weekends and school holidays, perfect for holiday clubs and for the social and emotional development of school age children.
Whether you're looking to add some adventure to your home school curriculum or plan the ideal birthday party for older kids, consider Talkin Tarn the ideal venue.
Get out of the house with out of school activities within range of Carlisle, Hexham, Newcastle or Penrith.
Event planning with a difference, we will help whether you are looking for ideas for office events, things to do in Cumbria, or some great teamwork activities for schools.
Unlike many outdoor events companies, we will tailor our packages to meet your objectives.

BIRTHDAY PARTIES FOR TEENS IN CARLISLE, CUMBRIA
Looking for the ideal birthday party idea for older kids? If they've outgrown the softplay, trampoline and craft parties in Carlisle, then an adventure experience could be just what you're looking for!
Our core activities of Archery, Canoeing, Kayaking and Stand Up Paddle Boarding are ideal for small groups looking to have fun. These can easily be booked through our online calendar for up to 8 participants, or get in touch for larger groups.
Many parents have made the most of Talkin Tarn and kept costs down by arranging a picnic and cake to follow the activity. If the weather is a worry then there are a few options for shelter, here at Talkin Tarn.
For small groups, our waterfront cabin can be made available, with large windows to watch the fun on the water and enjoy a round of cake, the log cabin for a more traditional party space, and our repurposed parachute tarpaulin in the woods for an outdoor feel.
If you're booking an activity through our website as a birthday celebration, please let us know. If you'd like to arrange a party space at Talkin Tarn for your event, get in touch before you book so that we can check availability. Additional charges apply to use our waterfront cabin or the log cabin.
