Bothy Weekends
Coniston - 29th May to 1st June 2026
Join the Base Camp Festival team and a small group of other outdoor lovers for the first of our small and friendly Bothy Weekends, staying at the Yorkshire Mountaineering Club Hut at the foot of the Old Man of Coniston!
Team up with other Bothy Weekenders to enjoy local walks and runs (including the Copper Mine trails and the Old Man summit walk) and numerous other activities. Delicious home-cooked meals for the weekend are included, and evenings will be filled with talks, films and quizzes!
What's included:
Accommodation:
The Yorkshire Mountaineering Hut (3 Coppermines Cottages, Coniston LA21 8HP) is an old miners cottage in Copper Mines Valley just one mile from Coniston village, at the foot of Old Man of Coniston with direct access to the surrounding hills. Your tickets includes three nights of shared accommodation in one of the bunk rooms. There are plenty of showers and toilets, a drying room, and a cozy fire to warm up by after a day out in the hills.
Meals:
All meals will be provided from dinner Friday to breakfast Monday. Packed lunches will be provided if heading out into the hills for the day. Please let us know of any allergies or dietary needs/preferences.
Please note: Alcohol is not included but we will have wine and beer (from the nearby Fell Brewery) available to purchase.
Activites:
Day: During the day you are free to go off and enjoy the local hills (we will have some maps available) or spend the day visiting Coniston (just a short car ride or 30 minute walk from the hut). The hut will be open at all times, so you are also welcome to stick around and relax in the hut.
Evening: We will provide evening activities including talks, a quiz with prizes, and films.
