Testimonials & Press
Telegraph: “At the end of a day spent swimming past lily pads, carving a cack-handed spoon and singing really shockingly with much more gifted strangers, I found myself feeling better than I had in over a year. It’s wellness without the trite hashtags. And I love it.”
Stylist: “Experiences range from poetry workshops and guided open water swimming to whisky tasting and candle making… the ideal spot to unwind and reconnect with nature.”
Country Living: “Reinventing the festival: no headliners, no knickknack stalls, no queues from portaloos.”
A word on Summer Camp
“Summer Camp is something I’ve often dreamt of creating; a small, friendly, comfortable retreat based on the fabled camps of America but for all ages and with better food.
It will be about nature and the great outdoors; you’ll learn new skills, try new activities and make new friends.
Summer Camp will be a retreat, a place to recharge and to explore new places and ideas.
It will be beautiful and super-comfortable. There will be woodsmoke and starlight.
This is the place of your dreams.”
