About
18th July 2026
10:00 am - 4:00 pm
Mount Cook Adventure Centre is turning 10, and everyone's invited to the party. After a decade of adventure and over 60,000 guests hosted, this open day brings together outdoor activities, live music, food and a look back at how far the centre has come.
From 10am, the site opens to the public with a full programme running throughout the day. Try your hand at High Ropes, Zip Wire, Via Ferrata, Archery, Bushcraft and Low Ropes, with three activities for £15. There's also a range of free help-yourself activities to enjoy at your own pace.
At 1pm, join the Directors for speeches and a prize draw, followed by an afternoon of live music from a brass band. Craft sessions with Wild Roots Creative, face painting, and a guided trail run with Trails for Good round out the day, while hot and cold food, tea, coffee and soft drinks are available to buy on site.
Whether you're a past visitor, a local family, or simply curious about outdoor adventure in the Peak District, this is a chance to get involved in the celebrations and see what Mount Cook has been building over the last ten years.
