The event will once again be co-created by the Campfire community in association with many co-collaborators. Have a look at last year's Invitation page around our collective ethos and values. We will be lighting a Beacon for world harmony with our opening fire ceremony on Thursday.
Campout 2024 was a fantastic event. The magic that unfolded was a testament to the strength of our community and the power of open hearts and minds. Here's a taster...
The Three Pools Farm's vision is around a truly sustainable farming system, one that benefits the environment, community and is economically viable. Connecting with nature and good quality food is so important for our health and wellbeing. There is much we can learn from the land and from nature and the benefits of permaculture design extend beyond the natural environment. Campfire is very happy to be working with Three Pools on a farm environment designed to include people in the landscape.
The farm offers a great combination of indoor and outdoor spaces, where we can convene workshops, talk sessions, arts and crafts, live music and DJ sets, food and drink and wellbeing, with a sauna and outdoor natural pool for swimming and relaxing.
This is a link to the 2024 programme to give you an idea of what was on offer at the last gathering. You can read about Campout's history here.
Events tickets including camping are now available, with separate car tickets and limited live-in vehicle tickets also available pre check-out. There is limited 'glamping' bell tent and cabin availability on the farm itself which can be booked via the farm.
Crew and performer / contributors application forms are now available here.
As we look to the future, we are filled with hope and optimism about the possibilities that we can create as we continue to trailblaze change.
Stay tuned for more updates
