FREE Talks, Activities & Exhibits At The Outpost

LOWER YOUR ADVENTURE FOOTPRINT WITH FREE FESTIVAL EXPERIENCES

Alongside film sessions over ShAFF weekend, learn to lower your adventure footprint at The Outpost with a series of free festival exhibits, activities and talks focused on steps we can all take towards more sustainable adventuring. In our packed programme of free talks, find out how to make your outdoor kit last longer with Sheffield Clothing Repair explore sustainable travel options for your adventures with Sophie Whyte, and hear from authors Alex Roddie and Paul Besley about their adventures on foot.  

As well as the talks, explore the potential of e-bikes with local mountain bike producer Cotic who will be bringing along their exciting new e-MTB prototype. A Different Gear will also have their electric cargo bikes on hand. The Outpost will also feature a series of artwork using recycled and reclaimed materials, and climbing and mountain biking photography exhibitions. And, if your old gear really can't be revived, drop it off for upcycling with Re-Run Clothing, the John Muir Trust, Scavenger and Rab.
