Our Story
It all started with Gareth’s vision of combining a love for the outdoors with socialising and trying new activities. Over the years, Large Outdoors has grown from small walks into one of the UK’s leading adventure organisers, offering activities like wild swimming, yoga, and stargazing. We host over 300 events annually, from weekend adventures to multi-day trips, while always keeping a fun, inclusive atmosphere.
