Explore the Outdoors in Plymouth

Encouraging a bit of 'get up and go' is ‘Explore the Outdoors’; an exciting new event being held at Plymouth Pavilions this weeekend, Saturday 23 and Sunday 24 February.

The event is all set to bring together a range of outdoors enthusiasts including the Royal Navy, Duchy College and Stratstone Jaguar; and will offer visitors an opportunity to experience a range of activities on-site.

Whatever you're looking for in the great outdoors, the event will have it, being split into four zones of Adrenaline Junkies, Explore, Watersports and Travel.

The Adrenaline Zone features the highest indoor climbing wall in the UK & Europe with members from the Royal Navy urging novices and professionals alike to scale the 32 feet wall.

Duchy College will be encouraging visitors to participate in a Crate Stacking championship in the Explore Zone with teams competing for a prize awarded to the highest stack.

The specially designed beach shack will be serving smoothies and other refreshments to visitors weighed down with their clothing and equipment purchases and a bespoke surfboard will be up for grabs thanks to Coca Cola.

Exciting prize giveaways are online and at the event including free flights, mountain bikes, GPS devices, activity days, driving experiences and much, much more.

A diverse programme of inspirational speakers is sure to be a crowd-pleaser including sessions from the National Marine Aquarium (exhibiting in the Watersports Zone) plus workshops and talks on a huge range of topics covered by well-known outdoor experts and explorers.
