The Ackers

The Ackers is an adventurous activities centre based on a 70 acre green site in Small Heath, Birmingham. We provide the facilities to do sports such as skiing, snowboarding, climbing, abseiling, canoeing, archery, tobogganing and orienteering to name but a few.

All our instructors are fully qualified and create a friendly and warm environment in which to learn, play and have fun, whilst trying out new and exciting sports.

Be it recreational skiing on our 100m dry ski slope, practising technique on one of our two 30m nursery slopes or trying out your snowboarding tricks on our ramps we give you the chance to try winter sports all year round. We even have a designated 30m toboggan slope which is great for childrens birthday parties and school holiday days out.

With the River Cole and Grand Union Canal flowing through our site, we also have an ideal location for canoeing, kayaking or bell boating. These rivers also provide a wonderful natural habitat for many forms of wildlife a
