Call 0870 777 3567 or email
info@factivities.co.uk and we will add / update your details on your behalf.

First add a Centre. This could be an activity centre building, clubhouse or a cafe where you meet prior to taking part in an outdoor activity. Users ideally want to know where the outdoor activity is taking place, not where your business is registered. However, they are most interested in finding your company so any address will do.
Don't worry if you Centre does not have a postcode, just put one for a nearby location. The postcode is used to locate you, calculate distances and to provide a map.
You can have as many Centres as you need with a Web or Priority Listing.
Next add an Activity. We have a list of outdoor activities for you to choose from, however if you do not see one that is relevant then just write it in the space provided. We will then set up a new category for you.
Activity details including price, duration and level can be added in the Activity Option section.
You can have as many Activities as you need with a Web or Priority Listing.
