Lil & Tabby's Miller's Dale Bridge Abseil

Parson House OPC has become a huge part of our family over the last decade and it's owners -Our lovely Bells: Deb, Gareth, Ryan, Rosie & Baby Annie,  have become more like family now. Whenever we visit they always make sure we have the most amazing time and we leave with the best memories. It is our Happy Place.

Over the years Lil & Tabby have had so many great experiences there and always come home even more fearless and full of new found confidence. Lil found her love for horses early on, mucking out and painting their toes so she could have a horse ride with Deb & Rosie. Tabby faced her fear of animals and now absolutely loves being with them on the farm learning how to make the dogs do as they're told but especially helping Deb, Ryan & Rosie with lambing time! They've gone on fossil hunts in caves, squeezing through the tiniest of gaps and learned all about how they were formed from Gareth! But most of all they love to walk up Burbage Edge to climb 'Pride Rock' and watch the sunset on the edge.

Now Lil & Tabby would like to give something back to Parsons by raising some much needed cash towards the new fire alarm system which cost £10,000 so that people can continue to visit.

The purpose of the centre is to promote any charitable purpose for the benefit of young people, we provide a centre for young people for the purpose of helping and educating such persons though their leisure time activities, so as to develop their physical, mental and spiritual capabilities so that they may grow to full maturity as individuals and members of society and that their conditions of life may be improved.

The centre sees over 1600 people each year through its doors; from age 7 yrs upwards, some from inner city deprived areas , some disabled physically & mentally, partially sighted, deaf, school children ,D of E,  kids in care, youth groups, teenagers, primary, young adults, unemployed, companies for team building, stag, hen, old friend reunions, you name it they all visit us.
