Currently, our Blowout Weekend Event is FULL

We are currently asking all bookings to confirm their numbers and some capacity may be added as these update.

If you wish to attend, please get in touch with the booking office direct and ask to be placed on our waiting list.

 

Following the huge success of our 2022 Royal Extravaganza and a lot of groups asking “When are you running it in 2023?” we have put together the following event over the first May Bank Holiday weekend.
As in 2022, you can book individual parts or save a few pounds and book for the full package.
Each day looks like this:

Friday 28th April – BBQ and Movie Night – Sorry, Sold out (Ask to go on our waiting list)

Aimed at groups who are camping, we provide a BBQ evening meal for all followed by an evening film show as it goes dark with a goody bag of popcorn, a drink and a voucher to claim an ice-cream or lolly at the interval.
(Please note, leaders wanting the BBQ will need to book a place for this as well as young people)

Saturday 29th April – Bibbys Grand Trading Post

This is a full day programme of challenges and bases for groups to work through throughout the day to earn “Bibbys Dollars”. Every group starts off with a set of dollars per person  and works away to undertake the challenges. Some require dollars to purchase materials or equipment and you receive further dollars for task completed correctly.

One of the ways to earn money will be by performing during our evening “Royal Variety Show” either as a group or an individual. Dollars awarded based upon audience feedback.

At the end of the day, there will be an auction where groups can pool their dollars to bid for various prizes

Sunday 30th April – Blowout 2022

Our usual Blowout event with all our usual activities all day plus many more brought in specially for the day. A wristband also allows access to our evening LIVE entertainment in the courtyard that runs until around 10pm. We ask adults who are not undertaking activities to purchase an evening only wristband to allow access to the evening entertainment.
We also provide an evening meal option to groups who would like to pre-book this.

Monday 1st May – Water Activity Bolt-On – Sorry, Sold out

As it is just too busy to run the water activities during the Blowout, we offer groups the option of adding this to their programme for the Sunday.
You’ll be allocated one of 3 time slots for 2 hours on the water 9am-11am, Noon-2pm and 2:30pm-4:30pm

LeadersFor adults coming to support their young people, you don’t need to book the full package unless you are wanting to do all the activities.
However, for leaders, we would charge camp fees (Apart for those in ratio who camp for free), the BBQ and Cinema (£5) if they want to eat and the (£5) Blowout evening ticket to access all the entertainment.
