Join us for a free story sharing sessions and social, over Kendal Mountain Film Festival weekend in our home base of the Lake District. We’ll have three very different tales of women and non-binary folks taking on their own adventures in the saddle, of all different shapes and sizes. We’ll be showing a couple of short films, a talk, and then a group Q&A to close. We’ll then roll on into an open social - the bar will be open for beers and hot chocolates!

The event is FREE, but you’ll need to grab a free ticket via Ticket Tailor through the link below.
