Your ticket includes camping and activities.

You need to bring all your own camping equipment- tent, sleeping bag, torch, gas cooker, water bottle, pans, plates, dishes, knife and fork etc

Camp Site - This is booked privately – this should mean only sign circle campers and festival staff, although we cannot prevent the local scouts from joining us and you must be responsible for your own valuables and equipment on site. It is a basic scout camp site – indoor toilets and showers and one main building but most activities will happen in marquee tents. There are a few electric plugs in the main building for emergencies, but we cannot supply electric into tents! The camping next year is on the bottom field  - we will provide oil drum fire places (altar fires) and emergency fire buckets and we will have piped (cold) water and portable toilets down there too, including a wheelchair accessible portaloo. The marquees will be on the top field, so all the activities are happening close to each other and to the food! 

Activities -We cannot confirm the exact timetable until camp, but here is an idea of what we expect to happen:

Friday 2pm onwards – Arrive at camp, check tickets at information tent, get programme of information, put tent up and get settled. Indoor games for kids and adults in the hall. Catch up with mates, share a few beers etc in the marquee.

Saturday – different workshops for all ages:

Workshop hours – approx 11 – 1 and 3 - 5

We are aiming for this to be a BSL lead camp, however some workshops are being run by hearing professionals. Every workshop will have a communicator to sign or voiceover when needed.

Under 5s play area with toys and activities. In the workshop hours there will be some staff to help out and keep the fun going but you will need a grown up or big friend to come and look after you as well. We will have face paints, Messy play – paint and play dough etc and toys to play with. Inside a big tent if the weather is cold or wet and outside when it’s sunny.

Other Workshops and activities - Archery, rope climbing, lantern making, clay modelling, recycled art,  performance, circus skills, grass sledges, bouncy castle (sorry dad, kids only!) and plenty more.

The workshops will be available to different ages at different times. Children may need an adult to help them with some things but if your child is happy to go to the workshop alone there will be staff available to help. We cannot be responsible for your children – they remain the responsibility of the adult who brought them to camp – if your child is going to a workshop or to play on camp make sure you know where they are and they know how to find you.

Early evening – children’s story time. Signed with voiceover. Come on your own or bring a mum or dad to snuggle while you settle down to a story after your busy day.

Film night – bring a cushion and chill out while you watch a movie.

Evening - entertainment in the Raising Hands to be confirmed.

Bring your own drinks/alcohol 

Sunday – workshops similar to Saturday

Evening – more performances in the Raisng Hands

Monday – Chance for a last chat before home. Finish lunchtime. Pack down tents and leave site before 4pm so the clear up crew can get busy.

Camp fires - There are fire areas on the top field if you want to party later on. For those with sleeping children or wanting to be more quiet please enjoy the alter fires in your own camping areas if you want to sit around and watch the glow. We will have security staff walking about but we will not be able to supervise the fires full time. Please be responsible and keep everyone, especially children, safe.

Food – We will run a cafe again providing hot food for lunch and evening meals.
