Explorers Connect’s annual campaign “Wild Night Out” is holding free and very-low-cost events around the UK to encourage others to get outside on the National Night of Adventure: 11th July 2020

Working with the Youth Hostel Association we are inviting you to camp-out with likeminded others at our adventure camp-outs at locations around the country. For these gatherings we are looking for volunteers to add a bit of magic to the evening:

  • Storytellers (you could be a children’s author, poet or even a professional storyteller)

  • Inspirational Adventure Speakers (if you’d like to share your adventure experience around the campfire, you could have completed a big adventure or have stories to tell about smaller adventures closer to home)

The locations are:

  • Lake District: Windermere (speaking in Cathedral Quarry, wow!)

  • Wales: Brecon Beacons (south of Brecon)

  • Temple Valley (near Winchester)

  • South Downs: Truleigh Hill (near Brighton)

On Wild Night Out, people across the UK will be coming together to have adventures outdoors, big and small. Wild Night Out is run by Explorers Connect, supported by the UK's greatest explorers & adventurers and championed by Youth Hostel Association and Ordnance Survey. For one night each year we are encouraging you to get outside. We’d love you to join us because we believe that Britons are spending too much time indoors which is badly affecting our wellbeing. We think the answer is to encourage and support each other to get outside and what better way than to set a date in the diary?

These are all voluntary roles to support this initiative. please email Belinda on enquiries@explorersconnect.com with ‘Wild Night Out’ in the subject heading.
