Travel:

To maintain the remoteness and magic of the campsite, no vehicles are allowed on site so when you arrive your adventure will begin with a short walk across the fields to the woodland (Transport to the site can be arranged if needed)

There are only 10 parking spaces on site so we would urge you to car share where possible and some spaces will be available in our minibus travelling from Brighton. More details nearer the time.

FAQs

All questions are good questions.......and here are some that we’ve received already:

Are there toilets?

Yes – there are 2 compost loos on site and 2 showers with hot water both housed in beautiful shepherdess huts. There is also an outdoor bucket shower

Will it be one of those hippy dippy things?

It can be as hippy dippy as you’d like it to be – or not! We’re just going to spend some time together in beautiful surroundings and we invite you to join us in some yoga, whittling, fire making etc – we don’t see this as hippy dippy but everything is optional so if you feel uncomfortable with anything then please feel free to skip it and do your own thing.

Will there be alcohol?

We will provide a small amount of alcohol in the form of wild cocktails and some wine on Saturday night but if you’d like to bring your own please feel free. The focus of the weekend is on good health and nurture so we’d ask you to respect that.

Do I need to bring my own bedding / towels etc?

All bedding will be provided.

You do however need to bring the 4 T’s – towel, toothbrush, torch and toiletries.

Can I bring my dog / husband / children?

Sorry but no. Our hope for the weekend is that you can leave all the distractions of everyday life behind and truly focus on yourself.
