SAS @ Somersault 2015

We’re delighted to announce that, this July, we will be returning to the fantastic Somersault Festival as their official charity partner for the second year. Situated within the grounds of the stunning Castle Hill Estate, just a stone’s throw away from the wave soaked North Devon coast we’re stoked at the opportunity to showcase our campaigns to over 12,000 ocean loving ‘Somersaulters’ and to immerse ourselves in this wonderful, five day, summer-camp festival.

Once again the beautiful, big, blue SAS tent will be brimming with big wave surfers, giant marine litter sculptures, tales of epic ocean adventures, interactive kids shows, secret gigs from amazing musicians, artisan workshops and of course our 20 strong team of amazing SAS Regional Reps. We’re all set to meet as many Somersaulters, old and new, so head over and join us for what is one of the most inspiring and enjoyable events of our year!

We’ve put together our most ambitious, exciting and downright amazing (even if we do say so ourselves) program of gigs, talks, workshops, films, campaigns and much, much more! The SAS Tent will be open from 9am – 9pm each day so please head over and say “Hi”!
