BIG Peaky Weekender 2024 (Camping)
154 people attending
2 places left
We are very excited to be running BIG Peaky Weekender again this year!
There are three accommodation options for this event:
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!
