Alpkit Big Shakeout 2012 - Tickets Now on Sale

27.08.2012

Packed full of outdoor activities, organisers Alpkit and Thornbridge Outdoors are proud to announce that Big Shakeout 2012 tickets are now live.

Following on from the success of the Peak District’s first Big Shakeout Adventure Festival last year, this years event will again be held in the heart of the Peak District at Thornbridge Outdoors centre on the 12th, 13th and 14th of October.

Offering a whole weekend of adventure and entertainment, tickets for the event are available now and give full access to the festival site, camping in the beautiful grounds of Thornbridge Outdoors, all evening entertainment and access to a host of free workshops, demos and seminars over the course of the weekend. The festival’s campground area will buzz with live music, films and lectures in the evening and by day free on site activities including everything from bike maintenance, avalanche rescue techniques to camp cooking, circus skills and bushcrafting, meaning there really does promise to be something for everyone!

For those wishing to try something completely new, learn the specific skills of a new discipline, or simply wanting to do more or do it better, festival goers have the opportunity to enroll in the Alpkit School of Adventure which offers short, affordable courses throughout the weekend in a huge variety of sports and pursuits from canoeing and caving to climbing and mountain biking. These will be delivered by the instructors of Thornbridge Outdoors, elite athletes and coaches at the top of their game.

After a long day of your favourite activity, an exciting course or simply a mellow day’s walking in the Peak District, festival goers can head back to the Thornbridge campground, grab an alpine style meal and a beer from the bar and enjoy the legendary Big Shakeout entertainments. Live music, films and a host of other activities will be sure to keep the festival vibe going late into the night.

Tickets and full details are now available via the Alpkit website. http://www.alpkit.com/bigshakeout
