About the Event:

The BIG Weekend is making it’s return back in 2026!

Is there merch?

You bet there is! Our merchandise will be back in our navy and pink colours that so many of you loved in 2024, this will include t-shirts, hoodies, bucket hats, neckers and more!

Do you need adult volunteers to support?

Absolutely! We need a number of volunteers to support this event running. If you’re not planning to come to the BIG Weekend or you have additional hands, we’d love to have you involved.

There will be roles available for individual days, as well as set up, take down or the whole event.

Keep your eyes peeled as we will launch our adult roles over the Summer.

Please do let us know if you can support this event, not all roles are glamorous, but they sure do go some way to providing excellent experiences for our Young People.
