The Adventure

ChaseFest 2028 is our vision for something genuinely extraordinary. Set in the heart of Cannock Chase at Beaudesert, we are planning a four day festival of adventure, skills and entertainment over the May Bank Holiday 2028, bringing together young people aged 4 and above from Scouts, Guides and youth organisations of every kind. One site. Four incredible days. An experience no single group could deliver alone.

Join us for the full camping weekend or come as a day visitor. Fuel the adventure at our onsite grab and go café, or bring your own and make camp your home for the weekend. For the most adventurous, we’re planning off site activities too, with transport laid on directly from site.

We are planning for almost all onsite activities to be open access and queue and go throughout the weekend with no pre-booking required. Below is the programme we are working towards, combining Beaudesert’s full activity programme with additional ChaseFest attractions:
