Looking for things to do this May half term in the Peak District? Escape the ordinary and head to Go Ape Buxton, a stones throw from Poole's Cavern, for an unforgettable outdoor adventure.
Perfect for families, friends, and thrill seekers, Go Ape Buxton offers an action-packed outdoor high ropes experience — jam packed with tree-to-tree crossings, leaps of faith and epic ziplines. It’s an ideal family day out in Derbyshire for anyone searching for May half term activities, Bank Holiday ideas, things to do with older kids and teens, or outdoor adventures near Derby, Macclesfield and Sheffield.
Our forest doors will be open throughout the May half term, making it easy to plan a fun, active day outdoors. Get outside, enjoy the fresh spring air, and spend quality time together while taking on a challenge high in the treetops.
This May, discover where boring ends and adventure begins — at Go Ape Buxton, one of the Peak District' most exciting things to do outdoors. The stories you'll tell start here.
