The Alpkit Big Shakeout outdoor festival gives you the chance to do all this and more.

There will be opportunities to try your hand at bushcraft or camp cooking, take a hike or go swimming in two adventure-filled days.

Saturday’s programme of live music includes Said the Maiden, The Toffees, Tom C. Walker, Noble Jacks, Joshua Turner, Louise Croft, Ben Pawsley, Emily Mae Winters and Jess Morgan.
