Our legendary, fully accessible, free to enter, tented Basecamp Village is the heart of our Festival – and this year it's bigger than ever! You can find it in Abbot Hall Park (just 3 minutes walk from the Brewery Arts).
Basecamp is our social hub where brands bring their stories to life, our three stages deliver over 70 free talks from everyday adventures to the icons of the world of mountaineering and exploration and there is endless excitement from being with a whole bunch of people that love and cherish the outdoors.
It's also where you’ll find the Info Desk (just outside) and Merchandising stall inside the main Basecamp marquee. Our friendly team will be able to provide updates on the talks on the Basecamp Stages, directions to venues, programme changes and any Festival general questions you might have. Lost and Found can be found here too.
And it's also where you'll find our Food & Drinks village in the outside area - the perfect place to refuel.
