This is Derbyshire DA's biggest meet of the year for the best bonfire, firework display and live entertainment. The weekend is a packed schedule of events from the moment you arrive on Thursday / Friday until you leave on Sunday by 3.00pm.
The site is a very large site, located at the Ukrainian Youth Associaton of Great Britain complex. The site has a huge hall to meet in throughout the weekend.
It’s a great place to walk, with the canal backing on the site as well as being situated in the quiet village of Weston on Trent.
Weston on Trent boast a famous pub call The
Coopers Arms (https://coopers-arms.co.uk) which has a lot of heritage as well as its now fishing lake.
The fees stated assume no more than 2 adults per unit maximum per night. If there are any more adults wishing to attend/camp in your unit, they are to be charged an additional £6 per person night AND must be a Camping and Caravanning Club member, as this is a "meet".
