MAIN STAGE
The Main Stage is the stand out feature of AAF. Head here for amazing tales of adventure and incredible live music. Expect to hear from icons of the adventure travel world including Col. John Blashford-Snell and fantastic live music acts like Land of the Giants. The backdrop for this amazing stage is the Tamar estuary and watching the sunset over the estuary while listening to our headline speakers makes for an evening to remember. .
ARMCHAIR AMPHITHEATRE
The Armchair Amphitheatre is our second slightly smaller stage. Here you can expect equally impressive tales of adventure from people who have cycled around the world, walked across continents and climbed mountains but also more informational based workshops on things like house sitting and travel writing.
FIRE PIT
As the sun sets we'll light the fire up and you can warm up under a canopy of stars to watch natures TV. You'll find a chilled and friendly atmosphere where you can toast a marshmallow and enjoy a drink with friends away from the buzz of the main stage. In the day time there will be a couple of acoustic live music sets from some of our favourite local musicians.
THE THREE WHEELS FESTIVAL PUB
Whether you like a beer or not this place is special. We believe it is the world's best festival pub and for good reason. Number one it has the coolest people in it - there's not many places where you'll sink a pint with a woman who's just skied to the south pole and then chat to the man who invented white water rafting on the next table! On top of that it has a beer garden with jaw dropping, sunset views and a roaring fire to gather around. And that's all before we mention the incredible team that run it and their tasty drinks!
WELLNESS ZONE
The Armchair Adventure Festival is a rare event in that you can come along, party the night away and leave energised! That's in part thanks to our inspiring talks and bracing wild swim options but also thanks to the sessions in our wellness zone. Here you can expect to get involved in top quality yoga sessions with an incredible view and even book yourself in for a massage!
ARMCHAIR ADVENTURE CINEMA
Our brand new Armchair Adventure Cinema is housed in two interconnecting Giant Tipis. In here you can expect to watch the best adventure travel films out there and most films are followed by live Q&As with filmmakers and adventurers! Highlights will include Alpha with Ed Jackson and Alone Across Gola with Jude Kriwald. By night this space will turn into a beer tent where many more adventures will no doubt be planned with friends old and new!
SURVIVAL ZONE
Sit around a campfire under the canopy of a parachute and learn survival skills from a team of instructors who have lived to tell the tale. This incredible team is put together by Survival Wisdom and the sessions they run are based on experience gained from decades of real world survival situations they faced in the military. Expect sessions on everything from remote first aid to self defence.
RGS EXPLORE STAGE
New for 2025 the RGS Explore Stage will build on last years super popular adventure skills stage. Here you'll find hands on workshops on topics that will save you money and time in planning your next adventure. Expect sessions on expedition planning, wild camping, navigation and much, much more.
EXHIBITORS - ADVENTURE AVENUE
Stretching between the Main Stage and the Armchair Amphitheatre, you'll find Adventure Avenue. It's home to our amazing exhibitors who sell top quality products that you'll need for that next adventure! You can expect to chat to businesses that sell the best kit and experiences in the industry. Plus the avenue is home to our top quality street vendors - expect tasty food from Thailand to Truro with food options including Pad Thai, Cornish pasties and everything in between.
FESTIVAL SHOP AND INFO TENT
The festival shop doubles up as our main information point. Here you can find out what's on and how to book on to activities. While you're in you can pick up limited edition merch and signed books from the many authors at the festival!
