Activity Programme

6-9 August 2026  |  Peak District

Activity Offer

Alongside time on the rock, we’ve put together a programme of welcoming activities.

Join guided walks through the Peak District to take in the landscape from the ground, and come together to hear from some of your favourite pro climbers, instructors and community leaders at our panel talk.

In the evenings, wind down with a cosy film night celebrating climbing, and get involved with our free entry raffle.

With a mix of social, reflective and active sessions, there’s always something to enjoy - so even when you’re not climbing, you’ll feel connected, inspired and part of the community.

Warm-up movement for the outdoors

  • Join morning movement sessions designed to prep you for an epic day of activity. Suitable for all levels, these sessions target key climbing muscles with dynamic stretches, ideal for a thorough warm-up. Plus, they include breathing and mindfulness techniques to help you get in the flow zone while climbing or hiking.

Hike with Wanderers of Colour and friends

  • Spend more time exploring the Peak District. In collaboration with local community groups, Wanderers brings you a series of hikes across the weekend. Great views and great chat incoming - details to follow!

    Expect a full day hike with some steep climbs, descents, and steps. We will be hiking at a moderate pace, and taking time for plenty of breaks as well as lunch. We will aim to keep the group together and take pauses to allow people in the back to catch up with the front. Please be prepared to walk a moderate pace and for several hours throughout the day to allow us to finish the routes on time.
