CEILIDH
We've organised a Friday evening ceilidh headed up by Calling Time.
This was huge fun last year when the band introduced a new dance - appropriately called JUMP THE SUN!
WORKSHOPS
These will run throughout the weekend from 10.00 am - 4.00 pm
We've listed some above, but anticipate there will be more to come!
Last year we had ad hoc shanty sessions, meditation and storytelling.
CRAFTS
Our ace crafter is JULIE who will have a whole marquee set out with a variety of crafts to give a try.
Last year these proved hugely popular with us all going home with tote bags, coasters and other stuff!

F.A.Qs
Can I bring a camper van or caravan?
Yes. We have a small amount of hard standing for caravans if wet.
Can I be a come and go day visitor?
Yes, but the cost is still £72 or £65 early bird per person and covers all weekend including the Ceilidh, concert and camping.
Please Note: We may have some single day tickets available nearer the time.
There is hard standing for car parking for day visitors.
Where do the workshops/sing arounds etc take place?
We have two marquees, a barn and our fantastic new Qorone complete with its quirky interior and wood burning stove! All will be available throughout the weekend.
Are there Toilets/Showers?
Toilets will be provided. At the moment we are not providing showers as we prefer to keep costs down. We may reconsider if we have a good take up of places.
Where can I shop or buy take out food?
There are several supermarkets a short drive away.
The village pub and a small cafe which is only a few hundred yards away both do take outs and are within walking distance.
Can I BBQ and or have a campfire?
BBQs are fine, but must be off the ground to prevent grass damage.
We will be lighting a communal camp fire each night for a social sing around.
Will there be a bar?
Yes, but limited to beer, wine and soft drinks. You are quite welcome to bring your own.
Are dogs allowed?
Yes, but they must remain on the camping field and of course, kept under control.
There is a nature reserve next to the site and extensive walks so plenty of places to exercise.
What About Children?
Children are very welcome. The ones who came last year had a great time. The majority of our activities and workshops are suitable for all ages.
