From climbing experts to water sports enthusiasts, conservation charities, and even the best in natural food and drink, the list of exhibitors cover anything and everything to do with getting outside. Each exhibitor will have their own stand where you can chat and ask questions with them, and see the latest gear that you need to get yourself equipped for your next adventure.
Alongside the exhibitors there will be talks throughout the day from inspirational speakers and some famous faces, including Ben Fogle, Helen Skelton, Hamza Yassin and Ray Mears.
