The Venue
A Different Kind of Activity Space
Golf Manor is an indoor activity venue in Farnham offering golf simulators, interactive darts, shuffleboard, karaoke, Dungeons & Dragons, tabletop roleplaying, brick-building challenges, creative game design, escape-style puzzle quests, model-making and group activities.
For some children and young people, mainstream classrooms, traditional sports or busy social environments can feel difficult. Our inclusive sessions provide a structured, supportive alternative where young people can take part at their own pace, build confidence and experience positive achievement.
Calm, Structured Sessions
Predictable session formats, small groups and clear expectations.
Activity-Led Engagement
Golf, darts, shuffleboard, karaoke, tabletop games and creative challenges.
Confidence Through Play
Social confidence, teamwork, creativity and problem-solving through enjoyable activities.
Who It's For
Who These Sessions Can Support
Our sessions may be suitable for children and young people who would benefit from structured, low-pressure activity outside a traditional classroom or busy social environment.
- Children and young people with SEND or additional needs
- Young people who are anxious, withdrawn or socially isolated
- Pupils struggling with confidence or self-esteem
- Pupils finding mainstream school difficult
- Young people at risk of exclusion or on reduced timetables
- Children educated outside mainstream school
- Young people who enjoy gaming, fantasy, storytelling, puzzles, building or character-based activities
- Young people who find traditional PE or team sports difficult
- Children who need a calm, structured activity environment
- Young people who would benefit from positive adult-led activity outside the classroom
Sessions can be adapted for different age groups, support needs and confidence levels.
Why Tabletop
Why Tabletop Activities Work Well for Inclusive Sessions
Tabletop gaming can be especially effective for young people who enjoy stories, characters, building, puzzles, creativity, fantasy, systems, rules or structured imaginative play.
In a well-facilitated tabletop session, young people can practise communication, turn-taking, listening, patience, decision-making, teamwork, emotional regulation, creative thinking, problem-solving and positive peer interaction.
Tabletop activities also create a lower-pressure route into social participation. A young person does not always need to be physically confident, sporty or highly verbal to take part. They can contribute through choosing, building, drawing, rolling dice, solving clues, designing characters or helping the team make decisions.

Hybrid Sessions
Tabletop Adventures That Come to Life
One of Golf Manor's most distinctive offers is the ability to combine tabletop storytelling with real venue activities. Young people can solve a clue at the table, then complete a golf, darts or shuffleboard challenge as part of the story.
Adventure Quest Session
A tabletop story where young people complete real Golf Manor challenges as part of the adventure. Solve a clue, complete a darts challenge, use shuffleboard to cross the "bridge", then complete a golf simulator target challenge to finish the mission.
Brick-Build and Play Session
Young people build part of a fantasy world, obstacle, castle or quest location, then use it as part of a tabletop story or team challenge.
Escape Quest and Activity Challenge
The group solves puzzles, unlocks clues and completes physical or digital challenges around the venue.
Game Creator Lab and Interactive Activities
Older pupils design their own simple game rules, then compare them to real-world activity scoring systems such as golf, darts or shuffleboard.
This creates a unique mix of storytelling, creativity, movement, digital scoring and social confidence work.
