Big Shakeout School of Adventure
The Big Shakeout Festival is in the perfect location to explore the Peak District on guided walks or rides. Or try instructor-led climbing and paddling courses too.
If you'd prefer to stay closer to camp, there's heaps of onsite sessions and workshops to learn, craft and forage. So take a deep dive into the School of Adventure!
