Sidetracked Live: The Creators Tour
EventsThe Sidetracked Creators Tour: Join us for an evening of exploration, films, photography, fantastic craft beer, and loads more. Live and onstage. In partnership with Craghoppers.
We’re launching our first Sidetracked Magazine LIVE Tour, in partnership with our friends at Craghoppers. It will be held at a series of unique craft beer taprooms (plus a couple of very special locations) across the UK. The concept is simple: to capture the emotion and experience of adventures and expeditions throughout the world… and to inspire.
Each evening will be lively and interactive, and packed with fascinating speakers, beautiful adventure films, an exhibition by some of our favourite photographers, and drinks with the Sidetracked team and like-minded friends. Our host for the evening is Canadian adventurer Jenny Tough, who’s just finished her long term project to run solo across a mountain range on every continent.
