Gulliver’s Kingdom Resort – School Trip Accommodation

What We Offer Residential School Groups

Gulliver’s Kingdom Resort offers residential and overnight stays for school groups in Matlock Bath, Derbyshire, giving pupils the opportunity to stay on site while enjoying activities and experiences across the resort.

Schools can choose from sleepover and residential packages, with accommodation, catering and activities available as part of the visit. Staying at the resort allows teachers to bring several elements of a school residential together in one location, helping to simplify the planning of a multi-day trip.

Educational activities and workshops can also be included during a school visit. Full details of Gulliver’s Kingdom’s workshops, curriculum links and attraction experiences can be found on the separate attraction listing.

Why Choose Gulliver’s Kingdom for a School Residential?

Gulliver’s Kingdom combines accommodation, activities and educational experiences within one resort, making it a practical option for schools planning an overnight or multi-day visit in Derbyshire.

School groups can benefit from:

• On-site accommodation for residential stays and sleepovers
