Chagstock Festival 2023

Dartmoor, Devon, United Kingdom

Chagstock 2023: Where the act of giving means a fun-filled party in a field with the beautiful people of Devon

Probably the most family-friendly festival that the UK has to offer situated in the stunning region of Devon. There is no primary center point to a specific music genre here as they have acts from all walks of life with something different to offer. The Chagstock festival is an ex-private event that caters to 5000 people, the reason I say ex-private is because the Chagstock originally held the event for 100 people for fundraising purposes. Whilst the festival is still driven to raise funds for good causes they decided that with such great headliners, affordable beverages and snacks, and 2 days of uncontrollable fun, they couldn’t possibly keep the door closed and limit the number of people to just 100.

The Chagstock festival has literally been built from grass up with the very first session in 2003, being held in a back garden with many favors being withdrawn from the bank of friends, and some very dodgy DIY.

The Good Cause Fest

2006 was when the Chagstock festival finally took Devon by storm bumping their numbers up from 100 to 5000. Chagstock aims to give back to the community and donates all income to local donation-based services such as, the Air Ambulance Trust and other worthy causes. What a great way to give back to the community.

‘The Chadstock festival has become a local ritual where the people of Devon firmly engrave the dates into their calendars.’

People of all ages get involved into the making of the festival with young scouts offering a “camping gear carry” service where, for a small donation, they load up your equipment into a wheelbarrow and take it to the main camping ground.

Getting To Chagstock Festival

Set in farming fields in the very heart of Dartmoor the Chagstock festival is very much out in the sticks. Getting to the festival is not quite as easy if you’re not driving, as the local buses pick up about as often as the bin men do. That being said, many Chagstock goers are car sharing this year and you can arrange this by using Facebook or a nifty site called GoCarShare.

Chagstock Tickets

Chagstock is a 2-day family-friendly festival and offers two separate fields for camping. One for caravan/campervan parking and the other camping field is slightly quieter at night ideal for families. Tickets start from £100.32 per adult with group and family discounts available.

Chagstock also offers individual day tickets but when you can bring your camper for as little as £19 you may as well stay for the full two days. Accompanied children under 12 years get free entrance!

Where To stay in Dartmoor

With an array of options Devon sure can cater for all. From family camping, luxury hotels, and cute country cottages Devon will welcome all. Boasting stunning scenery with two coastlines, pebbled bays, sandy beaches, and the greenest of green countryside, it would be a challenge to find somewhere without a stunning view.
