Kids go home. Adults Go Ape.
Looking for an after work activity in the Lake District this summer? Thursday is the new Friday and Friday just got even better with brand new for 2026 Go Ape adults-only sessions at Grizedale Forest.
Grab your mates, switch your out-of-office on, and do something big! Go Ape is taking weeknights to the next level with high ropes adventures for 18+ only. Get outdoors, get active, spend time together and start your weekend feeling energised. In close proximity to Ambleside it's the perfect activity for a date-night or evening out with friends and colleagues.
These sessions will run on Thursdays and Fridays throughout the summer on Treetop Challenge, from 4pm–8pm between 1st–31st July and 5pm–9pm between 1st–31st August.
