Send Fest 2025 Round Up!

Send Fest returns in 2026! Keep posted for details!

Send Fest is a stand alone event, and will also celebrate the winners of Winter Boulder Series

The Send Fest is also an opportunity to celebrate the winners from the Winter Boulder Series 2025! 

Winners from each category, including Under 18s and Vets, in the WBS receive free entry to the Send Fest competition as part of their prize for winning! The top 3 in each category will be invited up to the podium to collect their prizes for the Winter Boulder Series. This will be a separate awards ceremony to the Send Fest podium, as the Send Fest is a stand-alone competition, therefore you do not need to have competed in the WBS in order to participate.

To take part simply purchase a Send Fest ticket and join in the fun!
