Standing in an Empty Field (Imagining it Full of Armchair Adventurers 😎 )

We’ve been back to the Armchair Adventure Festival site! 👀

Seven months to go, lots to plan, and the countdown is officially on. Right now it might look calm, quiet, and very empty… but trust us — not for long.

This is the bit where ideas turn into plans, plans turn into maps, and we start picturing a whole weekend crammed full of talks, music, food, mischief, and very good people.

So here’s a little before-and-after moment. 📽

We cannot wait to fill this place again — and to see you there for a properly jam-packed Armchair weekend.

Here’s a taste of what you’ve got to look forward to so far…

We’ve already started locking in some brilliant people and performances for this year’s festival, including:

🌍 Niall McCann — fresh from his latest adventure in Baffin Island

🏍️ Tiffany Coates — motorbike legend & Armchair favourite (arriving in style, of course)

📮 Stu Skinner MBE — sharing his powerful Postcards from the Peaks journey

🎶 Tankus — bringing their gloriously chaotic, can’t-stand-still live show

🎸 Black Friday — loud, high-energy and built for festival nights

🎪 The Cabarats — theatrical, mischievous and guaranteed to get things moving

🎤 Joanna Cooke — soulful, powerful vocals to soundtrack the weekend

🔥 Thomas Ford — blues, grit & proper festival energy

And that’s just the start.

We’ll be sharing more over the coming weeks — speakers, stories, and surprises — but for now, consider this your first proper glimpse of what’s coming.

If you’re in… we’ll see you in the field. 🌄
