Fri 23 May 2025 — Ten Tors 2026

After careful consideration of your feedback and all relevant factors, we have decided to hold Ten Tors 26 from Friday 8th to Sunday 10th May 2026.

We fully appreciate that this timing may still pose challenges for some participants, particularly those preparing for GCSE or A-level examinations, which begin shortly after the event. However, the lead time required to set up Ten Tors, combined with our reliance on military personnel to support preparations, means we need several weeks after the Easter holidays to ensure the safe and effective delivery of the event. As a result, an earlier date is unfortunately not feasible.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
