Join us for the 2014 BMC Cornish Climbing Festival, which will be based at the Count House, Bosigran, and takes place over the weekend of 4-6 July. Golden granite, deep blue-green sea and some of the finest real ales in the country will be staples of the weekend.

Whether you’re new to climbing or a seasoned sea cliff adventurer, come and spend a weekend in the company of local climbers and enjoy everything that West Penwith has to offer.

What’s happening?

The festival gets started from about 6pm on Friday evening with drinks at the Gurnard’s Head pub

Saturday’s action-packed day begins with breakfast provided by onsite caterers The Floating Millstone, which will set you up for a good day’s climbing.

Saturday evening entertainment includes a guest talk by legendary South West rock climbing pioneer Frank Cannings and a prize raffle in support of the Climbers Against Cancer charity, with a host of great prizes including guidebooks and clothing. Saturday night will be rounded off with a party back at the Count House.

Re-fuel on Sunday morning with The Floating Millstone, and head off for some more climbing.

Accommodation and catering

Camping is available at a reduced rate of £5 per person per night at at the Count House, the Climbers’ Club hut at Bosigran, but this does not include access to the hut’s kitchen facilities, and is on a first come first served basis. Overflow camping will be available at nearby Bosigran Farm.
