Cliffhanger Event in Sheffield – 3RD & 4TH JULY 2010

Short notice I know, but this will be a great event that shouldn’t be missed!

Cliffhanger is one of the UK’s largest outdoor outdoor-pursuits festivals, based in one of Sheffield’s biggest green spaces.We’re pretty sure that it’s actually the UK’s biggest outdoor festival for outdoor folk, with over around 20,000 visitors over the 2 days in 2009.

The aim of the event is to Inspire & Involve. Featuring elite competitions and / or professional demonstrations in rock climbing, orienteering, kayaking, mountain biking, running, mountain boarding, skateboarding, slacklining, adventure racing and more, visitors are able to watch incredibly talented sports-people of all ages at the top of their game, and then take part in the very sports they have just been inspired by.

The highlight of the event in 2010 will undoubtedly be a round of the IFSC Bouldering World Cup which will see 100 of the best climbers from around the world congregate to battle it out on the world’s biggest artificial bouldeirng wall!

There will also be scuba diving, angling, kite flying, assault courses, caving, a massive bargain area, music, plenty of children’s rides and other activities, food stalls, a market, and much, much more…

The activities will be aimed at people of ALL ages.

This year for the first time we’ve teamed up with one of our traders Alpkit to put on The Big Shake Out – a camping / music event with a beer tent and massive BBQ, which runs from Thursday to Sunday.
