CAMPOUT 2024 @ Three Pools Permaculture Farm, Abergavenny, South Wales.
August 8-11 2024
Together we are co-creating Campout.
This gathering has been evolving for several years as a new type of participatory event that aims to move away from the old audience / performer definitions.
Campout’s ethos revolves around the unique gifts each person brings to the four day journey and what they take away from it.
What each person takes will be different. We hope it will be a mix of inspiration, nourishment, focus and connections, new best friends, potential collaborations and maybe much more.
GIVE AND RECEIVE
Here are just a few examples of what members of the community have valued at previous events:

APPLICATION LINK FOR CONTRIBUTORS
Nobody gets paid other than the venue and associated costs, essential contractors who provide infrastructure without which we couldn’t do the event. We welcome your suggestions for contractors who may be willing to come and be part of it.
Otherwise, no free tickets or guest lists are available. As it’s an intimate event, it’s essential that everyone contributes to covering our costs and builds the event together. If a surplus is made, it will be invested into the Campfire community’s ongoing costs and future events.
Come and join us and let’s all be part of creating something unique and special together…
“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing,
There is a field. I'll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass,
The world is too full to talk about.
Ideas, language, even the phrase each other
Doesn't make any sense.”
