What’s involved?
Events Together Singles Multi Activity weekends will give you the opportunity to have a go at typically four or more different activities which could be anything from Abseiling to riding a zip-wire - with everything in between - including less adrenalin charged pursuits, such as a good walk out in the hills. The activities may vary depending on weather conditions on any given weekend and location.
The aim is for everyone to have a lot of fun and exercise body, soul and social skills!

The Group
Events Together Sinigles Multi-Activity weekends will involve you being part of a group of up to 20 people who will get as much fun out of being together as a group as being on the hill, in the water or underground! You will get to know the other participants by helping each other take the plunge (as the case may be) and through the learning curves. This is a real ‘ice-breaker’ singles weekend!
We will aim to show you a taste of some of the different activities that attract many people to a particular sport.
Above all you’ll be in great company and have a great time - together!
Equipment and Clothing
During Events Together Singles Multi-Activity weekends all the specialised equipment and safety wear (e.g. helmets and bouyancy aids) will be provided by Events Together's activity partners, but typically you will need to bring the following kit:
- thermal underwear base-layers
- older outdoor kit such as fleece top and tracksuit or Ron Hill bottoms
- old trainers or boots
- spare change of clothes and a towel - handy for any water orientated activity
- a couple of polythene shopping bags is a good idea too
Safety

We want to make the event as enjoyable as possible for you and as well as thinking about your safety we will be thinking about your comfort and so will be using the safest and most suitable equipment to ensure you will be as secure and comfortable as possible.
You will be required to bring suitable clothing e.g. warm, waterproof etc. for most activities Events Together offer. Please see the details on your chosen event for more specific information
All our instructors are suitably trained, qualified and insured for whatever the activity you are taking part in.They are also all trained first aiders.
