Adventures

All across Dartmoor National Park

Adventures across Dartmoor

Have you ever dreamed of exploring Dartmoor?

We’ve got adventures taking place all across the National Park throughout festival week, giving you the chance to experience Dartmoor in some incredible ways.

  • Multipitch Climbing
  • Climbing experiences 
  • Big Abseil experience 
  • Women's outdoor climbing 
  • Women's Outdoor Bouldering 
  • Wild Swimming 
  • 50 km Ultramarathon 
  • 50 Mile Ultramarathon
Fancy learning how to get out there on your own, rather than always heading out with an instructor or guide? Be sure to check out our workshop selection too.

We’re a small but growing festival, and as climbing instructors ourselves, climbing seemed like a natural progress. 

So… what adventure would you like to see next? Let us know.
