Spirit of Adventure Festival
As an outdoor learning and adventure charity, one of our core values is to live the ‘Spirit of Adventure’; something many of our team embrace fully, and we love sharing that passion with others.
One way we celebrate adventure and the power of getting outside is through our Spirit of Adventure Festivals, where we showcase award-winning outdoor films and exciting speakers with amazing tales; the perfect escape for a few hours of entertainment and being inspired by stories of nature and outdoor adventure.
Because the proceeds from all our Spirit of Adventure Festivals are reinvested to support our charitable work, while you’re being entertained, you’ll also be helping vulnerable and disadvantaged young people experience their own life-changing outdoor adventure opportunities so have a look at what’s coming up and get your seats booked before they sell out!
