The site is a traditional organic farm in the
foothills of the Brecon Beacons, only 50 minutes from the
Severn
Bridge
and 1½ hours from
Birmingham. Brecon
is 6 miles away. The nearest railway station is in Abergavenny.
The farmers,
Julie and David, make us feel exceptionally welcome. You will receive directions to the camp,
and information about what to bring, with your ticket. Admission to the camp
is by pre-booked ticket only.
We have a fabulous cafe offering meals, snacks and drinks and a range of
supplies. There'll be more info on the website nearer the time to help you
plan what to bring.
Workshops take place in large marquees. We also have a heated workshop space. The well-being area provides a
nurturing space, various workshops, healing sessions and first aid.
Children and Teens
In addition to the main programme, we offer an exciting programme of activities
for children and teenagers who are a very important part of the
camp. Activities in 2007 included: lots of indoor and outdoor games, craft, drumming, table
tennis, peg loom weaving, exploring personality types via the MBTI, story telling and
flag making.
Boundaries
We ask participants to
respect the ethos of the camp and have established clear
boundaries to ensure the camp is an enjoyable and safe space for everyone.
We require all participants to abstain from alcohol and drug use during the
camp. The core group reserve the right to require people using or providing
alcohol or illegal substances to leave. We are not able to have pets on
site. We ask that electronic music and games are left at home and mobile
phones are not used on site. Quiet time is respected between 11pm and 8am.
To protect the integrity of the camp ticket holders
only are allowed on site.
New to Camping?
The prospect of spending a week under canvas can be fairly daunting if
you've not done it before. We are sure you will enjoy the experience and you
will receive lots of support from others in your circle. There will be a cup
of tea ready for you you when you arrive and the gate team will help you
find a circle, introduce you to others and give you any help you need to put
up your tent. We'll also have a meeting early on in the camp for new campers
where you can ask any questions and we'll share tips on how to get the best
out of living outdoors. Bringing really comfortable, warm bedding is one of
the main ingredients of successful camping. It's also good to have a
sheepskin or warm blanket to line your camping chair for those mellow
evenings round the campfire. We'll send you more information and a list of
what to bring with your ticket - but if you'd like a chat before you decide
to book, feel free to phone Miryam on (0117) 914 9107.
