About the event

Limitless Festival is aimed at 11-18 year olds, with a dynamic youth venue for every young person on site.

Although we do have Limitless Kids venues running, this is to cater for the children of youth leaders and team members whilst they serve the event and their youth groups over the week.

All under 18’s must be accompanied by a group leader who is over 18.

Limitless Festival 2027 runs from 6 - 10 August 2027.

Because of the type of event and the duration of the event, Limitless Festival request that each group leader accompanies a maximum of ten (10) young people.

Limitless Festival is held at:

Stafford Showground
Weston Rd
Stafford
ST18 0BD

Arrival on site is from 10:00 on Friday 6 August.

The last night’s excitement finishes at 23:30 on Tuesday 10 August.

You must have fully left the site by 10:00 on Wednesday 11 August.

The day planner isn’t normally finalised until 2 or 3 months before the event. Keep an eye on our social media channels and we’ll let you know when it’s ready for you to see and how to get hold of it. The programme will be available on site.

The Limitless Family believes that God is just that: Limitless!

The meetings will often start with a time of praise and worship - sometimes people will have their hands in the air or jump around or clap. There will usually be a talk about something from the bible put into a relevant way to challenge you and your beliefs in our Limitless God, and then time where we invite you to respond to what’s been spoken about. In this time we invite God to come and heal people, to change people and to let God work in our lives. Sometimes this is all very civilised and sometimes it’s a bit weird! BUT, whatever happens and however it happens, our team leading the meeting will try to explain clearly about what is expected of you, what is going on and what God is doing. We also encourage you to pray for the people around you during these times.

An important part of Limitless Festival is creating space for the Holy Spirit to minister in people’s lives. We believe that this is where the real transformation happens, and as such seek to prioritise this time in our meetings. We seek to facilitate these ministry times according to the following principles…

  1. WE WAIT ON GOD: We believe God moves in stillness (1 Kings 19:11-13, Psalm 27:14, Psalm 46:10, Isaiah 40:31), and thus we don’t need to stir people up into a frenzy in order to meet with Jesus. Instead we lead the young people through a process of stillness and waiting, to allow the Holy Spirit to move as he intends. We are careful to avoid hype and auto-suggestion. We also believe in the role of anointed musicians assisting in ministry (2 Kings 3:14-16, 1 Samuel 16:23), and as such are comfortable with music during ministry, but we are also comfortable with waiting on God in silence.
  2. WE LISTEN TO HIM: As we wait we are listening to cues from the Spirit. Is he asking us to wait longer? Is he asking us to lead a specific response to something? Does he want to give us a word of knowledge?
  3. WE DO WHAT HE SAYS: Whatever the Holy Spirit asks of us we will do. The idea is to let the Spirit lead us as we lead the young people. As we do so we seek to...
    • Acknowledge the odd - God can do weird things if he wants to, but we won’t be weird! We’ll acknowledge unusual things in a usual way.
    • Explain what is going on and reassure people as we go - We don’t assume that everyone is familiar with what the Spirit is doing, so if people begin to cry / laugh / fall over / shake etc, we explain what is happening and reassure people that it’s safe and good.
    • Explain that it’s OK if people are not feeling/experiencing anything - People can sometimes feel that there is something wrong with them if they are not “feeling” anything when people around them seem to be encountering God. So we remind people that feeling and encountering are not the same thing, and that God still loves them and notices them even if they are not feeling anything.

If you or your young people are not used to praying together, then we have made some helpful guidelines to help protect everyone involved. You can read them here.

By following these principles we seek to help people engage with the ministry of the Holy Spirit in a way that is clear and loving for all concerned.

Please note that the Limitless booking office will confirm they have received your cancellation request.
Should you not receive confirmation, this will mean that your email or letter has not been received and therefore you will not be entitled to any refund.
Groups may wish to seek insurance cover for the excursion.

17. Subject to point 16, all refunds made will be issued as follows:

  • Prior to 1 June 2026 – 100% minus an admin fee of £5 per ticket or £25 per booking, whichever amount is smaller.

Camping

We allocate groups camping villages. After the main youth group leader has completed a ticket registration, they will receive a confirmation email with a link to ‘Your Camping Form’. It is compulsory for the main youth group leader to complete this form.

If you are not the main youth group leader, then please speak with your main youth group leader about your camping requests.

We allocate groups to camping villages just before the event based on the information given by the main youth group leader, through the ‘Your Camping Form’.

Camping locations will be communicated with them, via email so, please check with them before getting in touch with us.

If your group express a wish to camp next to another group, we will try accommodating this request. However, with the quantity of bookings this is not always possible. Sometimes we have to make the most of the space available to us.

Please enter the box marked ‘Camp Next Door’ question the group you would like to camp next to, including their group name and group leader name. This will help us find the other group more easily.

Electric hook ups are available through the ‘Your Camping Form’.

Unfortunately not.
Due to fire regulations imposed on our event, all vehicles, other than camper vans, MUST be parked in the car park across the road before the first main event at 19:00. Please use the tunnel to get back onto site safely as the main road is very fast!

We cannot allow vehicles onsite to unload shopping etc. at any time during the event.

If you are a guest with physical needs and you hold a blue badge, your vehicle will be allowed onsite for loading and unloading of passengers but we ask that it is returned to the car park once you have dropped off your passenger.
