Cliffhanger - UK's Biggest Outdoor Pursuits Festival
Prepare yourselves for unseasonable weather as 30 tonnes of snow is set to fall in the middle of July at Cliffhanger in Sheffield!
SNO!zone, the indoor real snowsports centre at Xscape Castleford, is turning part of the park into a winter wonderland by building a
real snow slope with freestyle rail lines.
In addition the Cliffhanger will play host to the British Bouldering Championships, an orient style UltraSprint orienteering
competition and open event, Mountain Bike trials displays by Ben Slinger, Scuba Diving instruction, an on-site North-Shore Mountain
Bike course, an open Skateboarding contest, come-and-try-it Climbing Walls and assault courses, Kayaking, Caving, Angling, a heap of
demonstrations, and loads of outdoor bargains (Decathlon, Alpkit, planetFear, Go Outdoors, CragX and loads more). Once you've paid your
£5 to get in virtually everything is FREE! Get the dates in your diary.

July 12th and 13th, Millhouses Park, Sheffield. www.cliff-hanger.co.uk for more info, including plenty of information on local
accommodation, and how to get there on public transport, FREE Park & Ride buses, on your bike (FREE secure bike park and service)
or by foot.
Here are a few quotes form visitors last year:
What did you like about Cliffhanger? Feel of the event, liked everything, family atmosphere, feel and mix of events, free stuff, fun
stuff for kids, good location, good spectator points, high spirits, cinema tent, all the climbing, hot chocolate, lots to see and do,
not previously our thing - now inspired!
I missed sat due to work. Sounds like it was ace. Went today though with the family and we had a top time. The wife and kids loved it
even though it was raining, the bouldering comp was brilliant (I wish I could climb as good as those kids) and we got some great
bargains in the tents.
