A family-friendly weekend festival of music, activities and adventure is set to return to Eden next summer.
The Eden Escape Festival will be held at Mains Farm, Kirkoswald, at the end of May.
Staged at a farm campsite which already has pods, tipis and bunk rooms for hire, festival organisers promise lots of activities, including fitness classes for all levels and abilities, yoga workshops, massage therapies, adventure films, music, campfires, swimming in the river, street food and a market-place.
There’s a big barn for music, and films to be shown by Kendal Mountain Festival as well as inspirational speakers, a host of skills workshops such as night navigation and map reading , Nordic walking, and a lots of activities for children.
Accommodation can be booked in the pods, tipis and bunk-rooms and visitors can also bring their own tents and campervans. Onsite catering is provided by local food outlets, and there’s a bar.
As well as a weekend full of outdoor activities the organisers, Fox Red events, also promise a chance to get your dancing shoes on with a 80s theme party on Saturday night.
“We want to show that you can have an adventure without doing something extreme, like going off to climb Kilimanjaro,” said co-organiser Wiz Lees, who is a personal trainer and fitness instructor.
‘’We want to give you a taster of some of the awesome things that are available to you, right on your doorstep.”
She and Leigh-Ann Newburn staged the festival initially in 2019, but had to cancel last summer because of the pandemic.
It is due to be held from May 27 to May 29 and to book, visit https://www.edenescapefest.co.uk/
