TEENfest 2026
19 - 21 July 2026
Oxfordshire
Set in 42 acres of beautiful woodland, Youlbury in rural Oxfordshireoffers both high adventure activities and traditional outdoor skills. Scout Adventures (Youlbury) is a not for profit organisation and operated by The Scout Association – the UK’s leading youth charity in the UK.
At TEENfest, adventure activities take place on both Saturday and Sunday and may include the following on rotation:
Climbing, Zip Wire, Laser Tag, Fire lighting, Orienteering, Archery, Crate Staking, BIG NIGHT IN A BOX and more! Craft, social and team activities are also on offer throughout the weekend, led by the TA Green Team. We encourage everyone to join in with the activities, but it’s always your choice.
A welcome pack will be sent to confirmed bookers ahead of the weekend, which will confirm groups and activities booked, but may be subject to small changes based on venue availability.

All accommodation will be in shared dormitories. Tourettes Action have sole use of the accommodation and Centenary Lodge building throughout the weekend, but DO NOT have sole use of the site.
