The Outdoors is Yours this National Get Outside Day!

This day is dedicated to encouraging people of all ages and abilities to embrace the outdoors and enjoy the benefits of being active in nature. Held on Sunday 29 September, National Get Outside Day promotes outdoor activities as a way to improve physical and mental wellbeing while fostering a greater appreciation of the natural environment.

National Getoutside Day #getoutsideday

Our aim is simple, to inspire more people to explore the great outdoors, whether through hiking, cycling, running or simply spending time in green spaces. National Get Outside Day serves as a reminder of the joys of outdoor activities and offers a chance for individuals, families, and communities to connect with nature.

Step outside, explore your surroundings, and discover the many physical and mental health benefits that come from being outdoors. Whether it’s a short walk in a local park, a day hike in the countryside, or any outdoor adventure, the day is all about making the most of the natural world around us.

Follow us on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X to stay up to date with the great outdoors using #GetOutsideDay.
