About us

What is the BIG Weekend?
It's a camp like no other! The BIG Weekend brings together 3,000 Scouts from across Nottinghamshire for a bank holiday weekend jam-packed with adventure, friendship and fun.
In May 2024, for the first time ever, the event will be heading to Newark Showground! This event will be bigger than ever before, in-fact, it's going to be literally acres bigger!
Our dedicated team of volunteers have been working behind the scenes for over two years to create the best event yet. We have a varied and exciting daytime programme of activities to suit everyone, including old-favourites as well as brand new activities and experiences too.
The fun doesn't stop once the sun sets though, the site transforms with a vibrant nightlife of evening activities and entertainment. 
The BIG Weekend promises to be an unforgettable experience for all involved, with new skills, new friendships and new memories to be made. Don't miss out on this fantastic opportunity, the camp will be suitable for Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Explorers, with day visits available for Squirrels too!
