A small festival, big on adventure.
​Big Shakeout Festival is a place to celebrate your summer of adventure: three days in the Peak District National Park, spent doing what you love. First-timers and lifelong outdoor people alike, solo adventurers and families side by side. ​ It is a weekend that's been running since 2009 and somehow still feels like the best thing we do all year. Small enough that you'll find your friends again in the beer queue, not lose them in a crowd. ​ Fill your day with your favourite activity, or try something new with our School of Adventure courses. By evening, everyone comes together to refuel with hearty food, a well-stocked Foundation bar, talks, films and live music across two stages. ​​ ​25 - 27 September 2026 ​ Celebrate your summer of adventure and chase what's left before the light goes.
