The Site

Set in the heart of Cheshire, the Cheshire Showground has hosted Chamborees for years and has over 250 acres of space with good tracks and easy road access, just 2 miles from M6 Junction 19.

The site will be split up into six subcamps (including one for IST), a main arena, and three activity zones, allowing participants to work their way around the adventures and challenges on offer through the course of the week.

There will be food outlets onsite, and nightly entertainment at the main stage (plus an IST evening programme). The IST Subcamp will also have a bar (although the prices likely won't be as generous as Rally bars tend to!).

More information about site rules and facilities will be made available nearer the time by Chamboree, however if you have any questions in the meantime please do get in touch and we'll help if we can or direct you to the organising team.
