Prepare yourselves for unseasonable weather as 30 tonnes of snow is set
to fall in the middle of July at Cliffhanger in Sheffield!
SNO!zone, the indoor real snowsports centre at Xscape Castleford, is

snow slope with freestyle rail lines.
In addition the Cliffhanger will play host to the British Bouldering Championships ,
an orient style UltraSprint orienteering competition and open event,
Mountain Bike trials displays by Ben Slinger, Scuba Diving instruction,
an on-site North-Shore Mountain Bike course, an open Skateboarding
contest, come-and-try-it Climbing Walls and assault courses, Kayaking,
Caving, Angling, a heap of demonstrations, and loads of outdoor
bargains (Decathlon, Alpkit, planetFear, Go Outdoors, CragX and loads
more). Once you've paid your ยฃ5 to get in virtually everything is FREE!

Here are a few quotes form visitors last year:
What did you like about Cliffhanger? Feel of the event, liked
everything, family atmosphere, feel and mix of events, free stuff, fun
stuff for kids, good location, good spectator points, high spirits,
cinema tent, all the climbing, hot chocolate, lots to see and do, not
previously our thing - now inspired!
I missed sat due to work. Sounds like it was ace. Went today though
with the family and we had a top time. The wife and kids loved it even
though it was raining, the bouldering comp was brilliant (I wish I
could climb as good as those kids) and we got some great bargains in
the tents.
