The Armchair Adventure Festival kicks off tonight – and to help you plan your weekend, here’s a look at the full jam-packed schedule.

The world’s first all-live virtual adventure festival took place back in April 2020, running three days of talks, live Q&A’s and films from some of the world’s most adventurous people – and now they’re back for a winter edition! It’s brought to you by The Sidecar Guys, a duo who circumnavigated the globe on a scooter and sidecar from 2017 – 2019 and broke the Guinness World Record for longest ride on such a vehicle.

There will be a whole host of adventurous guests, including Charley Boorman of ‘Long Way’ fame, Steph Jeavons – the first person to ride a motorcycle on all seven continents, Nick Sanders MBE – the fastest person to go around the world by motorcycle, Elspeth Beard – the first British woman to go around the world on a motorbike, and many, many more.

And here’s the really good bit: The festival is completely FREE to attend. However, if you would like to you can make a voluntary donation COCO – an international children’s charity. To get involved, click HERE.
