This year's site is new to Heartsound, but a number of us have camped there
before and love it! Within walking distance of the beach at Charmouth, it
has a stunning views of the surrounding hills, glorious sunsets, compost
loos and a gas fired shower (sorry to those who like to socialise while
showering - you get privacy on this site!).
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.
Workshops take place in a large marquee. The well-being area provides a
nurturing space, various workshops, healing sessions and first aid.
Molly's lovely tea tent is a constant source of yummy freshly
baked cakes, soup, salads, pancakes, fairtrade drinks... and a wonderful
venue for impromptu music ~ bring your instruments!
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 previous years have 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.
