WELCOME! Adventure Queens is a not-for-profit women’s adventure community, run almost entirely by volunteers.
We help delicately smash down barriers that prevent women from going on outdoor adventures and help them realise their full potential. We’re free to join, highly accessible and completely inclusive, for anyone that identifies as a woman.
Since 2017, our outdoor adventure community has grown to over 15,000 women, with 25 regional groups, one Mum’s group and three international groups. We’ve enjoyed hundreds of events from campouts, local meet-ups and in-store partner events. And to date, we’ve supported twenty recipients of the Adventure Queens Grant.
Upcoming Events
Adventure Queens runs regular campouts, online events and more! You can see upcoming events displayed here, or click the link to ‘All Events’. To stay bang up to date, make sure you join our main Facebook Group as well as your Local Adventure Queens Group where you will get updates on everything going on near you!
