1st Heathfield Guides had a fabulous time at Big Gig 2026!
Around 10,000 Guides, Rangers, Young Leaders and Leaders from across the UK came together for an amazing concert just for girls! What an incredible atmosphere and such a wonderful experience to be part of.
The excitement started three weeks before the big day, with our Guides getting creative and preparing their festival outfits. They explored different colours through tie-dye, took their creations home to wash, and brought them back to decorate with beads and old jewellery. With plenty of cutting, tying, sewing and gluing, they transformed their T-shirts into their very own masterpieces to wear to Big Gig!
The following week, they made bandanas, friendship bracelets to swap with other girls, and colourful pegs to use during the event. So much creativity, teamwork and excitement went into preparing for this special day! 🫶🌸
Although not everyone from our unit could attend Big Gig, everyone was involved in the preparations. And for those who missed out, the fun isn't over! We're planning our very own mini festival at our next meeting, with a playlist chosen by the girls themselves. 🎵🎉
Since reopening 1st Heathfield Guides last year, we've been collecting so many wonderful memories, trying new things and making fantastic experiences together. Every adventure is another opportunity to grow in confidence, build friendships and, most importantly, have fun!
Here's to many more adventures, laughter and memories to come! 💖🌟
