Reunion 2022

How to book

All tickets must be booked online in advance. If you need a hand, there's more instructions on our booking page, and a quick step-by-step video to talk you through how to book too. 

Ticket prices

• Weekend ticket - £38.00

Unfortunately no indoor accommodation or pre-booked catering is available this year. There are lots of hotels in the area that you might like to look at if you're not able to camp, and we'll have food vendors on-site throughout the weekend. 

Weekend tickets are valid from Friday at 2pm until the event closes on Sunday. Day tickets are valid from 8am until evening entertainment closes on your chosen day. 

Caravan/campervan pitches are now sold out.

Under 18s

Gilwell Reunion is an all-adult event, and an important space for many adults volunteers to network and take time to recharge. The weekend is not designed for those under 18, and there's no specific activities or programme designed for young people. For these reasons, we discourage bringing under 18s with you to the event.

However, if you need to bring an under 18 with you for childcare reasons or similar, please get in touch with us with your booking reference and we'll be able to discuss this with you. Everyone attending Gilwell Reunion will need a ticket booked in advance. 

The programme for the weekend starts on Friday evening with a warm welcome in The Lid, leading into our new programme of evening entertainment.  

On Saturday you’ll find lots of different activities to take part in, stands to visit and collect ideas from, workshops and seminars to inspire you, and a drinks reception in the afternoon. There’ll be plenty more evening entertainment to keep you busy.  

Sunday continues with more workshops, seminars, activities and exhibits before we close with a Scout’s Own.  

The full event programme and map will be available to download soon. 

Activities and timings are subject to change, so find us on Facebook and Twitter for any last-minute updates. 

Planning on joining us at Gilwell Park early? Pre-camping for Gilwell Reunion starts on Friday 19 August and must be booked in advance. You'll be asked if you want to add pre-camping when booking your weekend ticket - just fill in the number of people coming against the correct pre-camping arrival date. 

Check-in for camping is from 4pm on your arrival day. Camping space will be allocated by our team on arrival, and will depend on the field space available at the time. There's no vehicle access to our fields, so be prepared to move any kit to your camping space by hand. Please note that no electric is available to any of our pitches, and there's a small additional charge for campervans and caravans. 

Our pre-camping information pack will be available to download soon.

Parking

Parking on-site for attendees with accessibility needs is very limited, and is likely to be a significant distance from your camping pitch. We strongly recommend parking at one of our off-site car parks and taking our shuttle bus. If you let the shuttle bus driver know, they will arrange for you to be driven to your camping pitch.  

We can also arrange for you to be collected from your pitch at the end of the weekend, to be driven back to the off-site car parks.  

If you do need your car on-site, please email us before Friday 26 August with your booking reference and we’ll try our best to accommodate this.  

Medical needs

Our First Aid team will be able to store medication securely if you wish, and will have a fridge available for medication that needs to be kept cold.

A charging point for mobility scooters and batteries for medical equipment will be available.

We're able to provide power to a small number of pitches for medical needs only (e.g. for CPAP machines that don’t run on battery). These pitches will be located around a designated power point on-site, and will only be available to campers requiring this. This helps us to prevent misuse and overloading. We’ll try our best to find the rest of your group a pitch nearby.

Please email us before Friday 26 August with your booking reference if you need to request this.  

You'll receive a Gilwell Reunion 2022 branded badge and plastic cup (new for this year!) at check-in, included in your ticket price.

We'll no longer be using single-use cups to help reduce our environmental impact, so you'll need your Gilwell Reunion cup at the bar and food vendors. 

Further merchandise will be available to purchase through Scout Store soon. 

There’s no pre-booked catering available this year, but we’ll still have a selection of street food vendors during the weekend. Suitable options will be available for breakfast, lunch, dinner – and of course any snacks and hot drinks!  

Our Tuck Shop will be open throughout the weekend too with cold drinks, sweets and pints of milk to take back to your camp for hot drinks.  

We'll of course have the Queen’s Squiffy Woggle Pub, but in a new location for this year! 

To help limit our environmental impact, everyone will be given a Gilwell Reunion plastic cup on check-in to use throughout the weekend. You’ll need to have this at our vendors and bar for any drinks. 

If you've got any questions or require further information, get in touch with us at gilwell.reunion@scouts.org.uk or on 020 8181 3151.

We're still working to confirm some details at the moment, but we'll continue to update this page with all the exciting stuff, and everything else you need to know, in the lead up to the event.
