Children Injured After Tree Falls at Activity Centre
One child was airlifted to hospital and six others were taken to Royal Surrey Hospital after the tree collapse, officials said.
- On Monday at approximately 1:40 PM, a tree collapsed at the PGL Activity Centre on Marchants Hill in Hindhead, injuring several children who required emergency medical attention.
- The Marchants Hill site is a popular destination for school excursions, offering activities such as climbing, zip-lining, and canoeing that frequently draw visiting groups.
- One child was airlifted to a London hospital with a serious leg injury, while six others were transported to Royal Surrey Hospital in Guildford with less critical injuries; an additional eleven received on-site treatment.
- Farnham and Bordon MP Gregory Stafford confirmed a "serious accident" occurred and praised the emergency services' "swift and professional response," while PGL Travel Limited stated the safety of children remained its "utmost priority."
- In 2023, Waverley Borough Council fined PGL Travel Limited £1 million after two children sustained "significant injuries" during a previous incident, providing historical context to the facility's safety record.
