Before you
pack the tent.

More than just a gathering, it's a chance to reconnect with nature, each other, and ourselves. With indoor and outdoor spaces, we host workshops, discussions, crafts, music and wellbeing sessions — and you can even unwind in the wood-fired sauna.

Tickets are available via Ticket Tailor. Please note we do not offer day tickets — we encourage full attendance to maintain the event's flow from the Thursday opening circle to the Sunday closing ceremony. Sauna and car-park tickets can be added at checkout.

There will be an evening of live music and a ceilidh on the Garden stage on Sunday evening after the closing ceremony.

The full schedule is published a few weeks before the event. Expect a rich mix of curated sessions, music, wellness activities and opportunities to offer your own contributions — especially during our morning circles.

Campout is a community gathering, not a conventional festival. With a cap of 250 people, everyone has a role in shaping the space. Whether you host a workshop, share music, or simply help tidy, your contribution matters. Daily morning circles allocate light roles and highlight the day's schedule.

Location: The Bridge Inn, Michaelchurch Escley, HR2 0JW. Nearest station: Hereford (15 miles, ~30 mins drive). A lift-share thread will be available on our Campfire network nearer the time. Please do not contact the venue directly.

• Camping is a short walk from the main spaces, right next to the car park.
• Live-in vehicles (no hookups) park in the car park, first come first served.
• Bring your own tent or van; we hope to have some bell tents available (watch this space).
• Nearest town: Hay-on-Wye (9 miles, ~23 mins). Local B&Bs via standard booking sites.

There is a toilet and shower block behind the pub, plus accessible toilets, parking and camping. As we're in farm fields, the terrain is uneven in parts — reach out about specific mobility or accessibility needs at contact@campfireconvention.com.

The pub provides a varied menu at all times of day (sample menu). A central campfire is lit and you're welcome to cook around your own fire. A well-stocked bar serves draft beer, cider, wine, spirits and soft drinks (over-18s only; ID for under-25s). Free drinking water and a tea urn are available on site.

We're planning activities to help children connect with each other and with nature. More details soon.

This is a conscious, co-created event. Heavy drinking or drug use is not tolerated. Everyone is responsible for their own safety and that of their children, and fire safety is a shared responsibility. Concerns about behaviour are addressed through adult circles, and anyone compromising safety may be asked to leave.
