Pack for the weather, pack to eat, pop in a bat and ball and you should be fine. We will provide the fire pit & BBQ, you may need to share, but that’s the fun of a festival. We will set up a washing up station, but bring tea towels & bin bags, a cool box too, we are off-grid, no luxuries like a fridge.

What will be happening?……..‘Relax Kids’ Yoga followed by Sound Bowls with yoga for the adults to SOMETHING EXCITING YET TO BE FINALISED on Saturday afternoon and a full day of led forest school & bushcraft family fun followed by a pizza & hot pot night, mini disco on Sunday.
