Join us in the Peak District this summer to celebrate OutdoorLads' 15th Birthday!

This event page is for the Camping option. There is also a Hostel option available.

To mark OutdoorLads' 15th birthday, we'll be celebrating all things outdoors! Expect lots of outdoor activities over the weekend, as we'll be staying at a specialist outdoor activity centre in the heart of the Peak District, with extensive grounds, and lots of opportunities for outdoor pursuits nearby.

This event will be a bit different to other BIG events, as you'll be able to stay in hostel accommodation, or be a proper OutdoorLad and camp in the grounds for the weekend. There will be a more relaxed vibe on the evening entertainment. Expect more board games, less disco. More chatting with friends old and new over a drink, less dancing with your tops off at 4am (ahem... DJ Dan). Lots of good times reconnecting with friends after an extended absence!

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!). As the event nears we'll be publishing all related events over the weekend. From the usual OutdoorLads variety of walking, climbing, cycling, to the less usual high ropes, canoeing, caving and mine exploration. We'll message attendees in advance of these events going live.
