BIG Peaky Weekender 2024 (Hostel)

We are very excited to be running BIG Peaky Weekender again this year! 

There are three accommodation options for this event:

• Hostel

• Camping

• Teepee (camping add-on)

This weekend is a celebration of all things outdoors. This outdoor centre is perfectly located in the heart of the Peak District for walking, cycling, mountain biking, climbing, and watersports - it's a perfect venue in so many ways!

In terms of evening entertainment, this event will be a relaxed affair. We'll have our bar-in-a-teepee again of course, but rather than a late night disco, it's more about having a space to chat, catch up with old and new friends, and maybe even play a few games!

OutdoorLads will have exclusive use of the site, designed for large groups like ours. You can be sure that everybody you meet over the weekend will be an OutdoorLad or a member of staff at the venue.

You can do as much or as little as you desire over the weekend (but we do advise you to get stuck in!).

Events

Make sure you sign up for an event(s) over the weekend, as some may fill up fast!

Please avoid double booking yourself to give everybody a chance at joining the activity they would like to do.

The canteen is in the building closest to the teepees.

Those staying in a hostel will have access to a shared kitchen and dining area, but please ensure you leave the area spotless after use. This means washing, drying and putting back anything you use, wiping down the counter tops and microwave, and disposing of waste correctly. It is not fair to others in the hostel and to BIG Events Team volunteers to have to clear up after others. However, if you do see something that needs doing, please chip in and do it, and ask others around to help if necessary. Bins can be emptied in the location labelled 'Bins' on the map above.
