Slope along for Alpine-themed laughs

Central Somerset Gazette

|

January 29, 2026

MENDIP Activity Centre, based near Churchill, is bringing something entirely new to Somerset this winter.

Apres-Ski Fest is a brand-new Alpine-themed night, designed for recreational skiers and snowboarders, but with a big community twist: live acoustic music and alpine atmosphere inside the Alpine Lounge are completely free for locals to enjoy!

From 6pm, on selected Friday evenings throughout January and February, the artificial dry ski slope is open for recreational-standard skiers and snowboarders to drop in for instructor-led games, friendly competitions, and progression tips. Expect retro outfits, slope-side challenges, and plenty of Mendip magic. Anyone wanting to ski or snowboard simply books their session in advance for £32.

Apres-Ski Fest has already proved a hit in its first week, with the launch night sessions on 16th January selling out in advance, despite wet weather.
