Following the great success of Campout 2024, we're delighted to announce that Campout 2025 returns to the Three Pools permaculture farm, in the hills of Wales just west of Abergavenny.

The plan was to take a year's sabbatical but we realised soon after the last Campout that this would prove to be an unpopular decision! 

So we're back by popular demand... Expect a unique blend of "activision, passion for the planet and pleasure" (Thanks Stevi)

NOVEMBER 1st is a new moon so a perfect time to release a batch of early bird firestarter tickets for the 2025 event and to set our intentions...
