Presented by TYF Adventure and Adventure Uncovered.
TYF Adventure and Adventure Uncovered present 'Outside', a brand new weekender including slow adventures, outdoor films and nature reconnection.
Supported by B Local Wales and B Local Bristol and Bath.
With nature connection at an all-time low, we’ve curated a weekend of outdoor activities and workshops in the wild, washed down with local food and night-time screenings of unseen purpose-driven adventure films, on the western tip of Wales.
West is the best, so get here and we'll do the rest.
A new outdoor event, designed and co-organised in partnership with TYF Adventure, taking place in St Davids, Wales, join us in September!
Outside is a new microfestival, emerging from a TYF and AU collaboration, to inspire reconnection, rejuvenation and renewal. Join us for a weekend gathering on the Pembrokeshire cliff tops in May with wind-down vibes, slow starts and mindful adventuring.
Delicious food will be served up all weekend from local traders. Bring your own or buy onsite. We’re planning a big banquet to kick-off festivities on Friday evening, to build community and welcome all guests. We’ll close the weekend with a big brunch on Sunday. Both the Friday banquet and Sunday brunch are included in your ticket.
We’ve carefully curated a handful of workshops and activities for all abilities and energy levels. Morning swims, cliff-top yoga, photography, surfing and ocean bathing, amongst a few. With fireside talks on conservation, sustainable living and stories of adventure. All activities and workshops are opt-in for those looking to kick back and unwind completely, with inspiring collections of purpose-driven films screening from the AU archive each evening.
*Note: You can choose all your activities and workshops on arrival!
For those looking to extend the weekend, why not stay an extra night? (Book directly with Celtic Camping here).
*Note concessions are available for local Pembrokeshire residents, simply drop us an email with your postcode and we'll send you a £20 discount code!
Weekend tickets include various activities and workshops, including coasteering, surfing, wild dips, yoga, talks, stargazing, and more!
Coasteering, wild dips and surfing are just some of the many adventure activities on offer!
Enjoy this unique activity that combines the best of exploring, scrambling, leaping, climbing, swimming and grinning.
Whether you want to go flat out and breathless, or choose a slower exploration, TYF guarantee high-quality adventures at a level that’s right for you.
This is a fantastic way to gain insight into the surf world, from the roots of surfing to surfboard and wetsuit design, surf prediction and surf safety. In this Classic Surf session we’ll teach you how to paddle, how to negotiate the surf when making your way out back, how to ‘prone ride’ in control of your board and finally the art of standing up and catching your first wave.
On this adventure, you will walk stretches of Pembrokeshire's world-famous coastal paths with your local guide before enjoying a dip in its wild waters.
This activity is open to everyone and no experience is needed. Just be prepared to immerse yourself in the joy, and peace of wild swimming, whilst also having the option to challenge your limits in a supportive environment by venturing in with just a swimsuit and in all weathers.
Enjoy the beautiful surroundings of the Pembrokeshire coastline through this guided and immersive mindful coastal walk.
You'll experience the awe and wonder of slowing down, the background to nature connection and learn some tools and techniques to help you connect more deeply with nature whilst taking in some breathtaking coastal landscapes and seascapes.
The yoga and 'morning stretch' will be run by Brixton Yoga. For those of you who don't yet know Mr Gurpreet, the talented Founder and thriving engine behind Brixton Yoga: you are welcome.
Prior to teaching yoga, he played football for years, trained as a dance movement therapist, worked in the office of the leader of a political party in parliament etc etc. He hopes all this help him to connect to lots of different people from all walks of life and create super friendly and welcoming classes for all of you lovely yogis...
We are lucky to have him for this weekend. Whether you love it or hate it, this class will change your mind about yoga forever.
Pembrokeshire has some of the best climbing locations in the UK, suitable for all abilities. With some of the very best climbing guides in the UK, TYF offers world-class coaching through a range of opportunities for beginners and advanced climbers in equal measure.
Any climbing session with TYF will allow you to get to grips with the compact sandstone sea cliffs of north Pembrokeshire. If you are new to the sport or have clocked up a few hours on a climbing wall or crag then this course will help to put you on the route to learning the basics of safety and technique and allow you to make the most of rock climbing.
