Some good news! We have been able to reduce our operating costs for MassonFest 2025, therefore, we have reduced the entry ticket price to £10 for the full weekend! Anyone who had already purchased their ticket will have received a partial refund with an email confirmation from Eventbrite.

We look forward to seeing you all there!

Get ready for three unforgettable days at MassonFest, the largest dry tooling festival in the UK, set in the dramatic surroundings of Masson Lees Quarry. Whether you’re a complete beginner curious to take your first swings or an experienced climber looking to push your limits, MassonFest is your gateway into the exhilarating world of dry tooling.

Over the weekend, you’ll have the chance to:

  • Try dry tooling for the first time with guidance from experienced dry toolers.

  • Hear inspiring talks from world-class ice climbers and dry toolers.

  • Enjoy music from incredible local DJs.

  • Explore interactive stalls from the BMC and other outdoor organisations.

We’re proud to be sponsored by Black Diamond and Petzl, who will be on-site with a full range of demo equipment available to use  – perfect for newcomers and seasoned climbers wanting to test top-of-the-line kit.

Whether you come for the climbing, the music, the talks, or simply the festival atmosphere, MassonFest promises a unique mix of adrenaline, community, and adventure in one of the UK’s most unique climbing locations.
