The Alpkit Big Shakeout will take place at the Thornbridge Outdoors Centre. The format is simple: active days and entertaining evenings.

Day activities include wild swimming, learning the art of tarpology, food foraging and axe-throwing. When the sun goes down, you can watch adventure films, listen to live music or simply chat with new and old friends around the campfire.

If you have a taste for adventure, want to be inspired and try something new, the Big Shakeout is for you. It's a not-for-profit festival run by Alpkit, the outdoor retailer, with all proceeds donated to the Alpkit Foundation. This is Alpkit’s independent charity, set up to remove barriers to getting outdoors and experiencing wild places.

Location: Thornbridge Outdoors Centre, Great Longstone, Bakewell, Derbyshire, DE45 1NY. Tickets available from alpkit.com/bigshakeout.
