Women's Trad Festival is returning to the Peak District on the 2-4th August. Join us in our 4th year for a weekend of trad climbing. Learn new skills, develop your climbing and meet and be inspired by other keen climbers. Whether you're new to trad climbing, want to transfer indoor skills to outdoor rock, or are an experienced trad climber, everyone's welcome, even if you've never climbed before!

Leader Applications Now Open

Calling all trad leaders!

We are looking for keen and experienced trad climbers to come and join us hosting our less experienced climbers. As a leader, you will take 2 new climbers out onto one of the excellent crags that the Peak District has to offer and develop their trad skills and confidence throughout the weekend.

As a leader you will be supported by highly qualified and experienced mentors throughout the weekend, and possibly further. This is an ideal opportunity for professional development as well personal progression of your leadership skills.

Whether you have professional or personal experience, if you are keen to share your love of climbing by helping others learn, and want to meet other like-minded, enthusiastic climbers we'd love to have you join us this year.

Become part of our growing community and network of female climbers of all abilities and ages by offering your skills introducing new climbers to the wonderful world of trad climbing!

Ticket Release Date

Learner and Climber tickets will go on sale at 6pm 1st May. Get there early to guarantee yourself a place, as they sold out within 3 minutes last year.

We are offering more tickets this year to try and meet a growing demand, however we recommend you still get there early!

Learner tickets are for those who have never climbed before, want to transition indoor skills onto outdoor rock, or want to improve any aspect of trad climbing. They're also for those who have climbed for a while and want to push an aspect of their climbing with support, perhaps want to build confidence, or wish consolidate certain skills. Our leaders are well qualified to meet a huge range of needs.

Climber tickets are for those who are confident and competent trad climbers and do not require any instruction. It's for those who want to meet other like-minded female climbers, for those who perhaps came a Learner previously but aren't yet ready to be Leader, and for those who just want to be part of the festival and community.
