Mendip Activity Centre’s brand-new Après Ski Fest will take place on Friday nights on 16 and 30 January and 13 and 27 February 2026, bringing a lively new winter social to the local calendar.
Friday nights are set to get a whole lot more fun as the centre combines evening slope sessions with live music, slope-side games, warm drinks and cosy winter vibes. Designed for confident recreational skiers and snowboarders, it offers a brilliant way for parents and friends to kick off the weekend together.
Après Ski Fest must be booked in advance for anyone heading onto the slope and is open to those who can already ski or snowboard.
Spectators are also welcome and can enjoy free live music without booking. Performances start from around 7.30pm on each date, making it an easy evening out even if you are not skiing.
The live music line-up includes:
• 16 January – Silver Line
• 30 January – Mike Ritchie (from Missing Cat Band)
• 13 February – Sam Evans
• 27 February – Every Other Wednesday, featuring Mendip instructor Chris Day
With its mix of sport, music and relaxed après-style atmosphere, Après Ski Fest adds something fresh to winter evenings at Mendip Activity Centre.
Booking is essential for skiers and snowboarders, while spectators can simply turn up and enjoy the music. Full details and booking information are available via Mendip Activity Centre’s website.
