Tai Chi

Taking time out in today's busy world is highly recommended, and Camper Calling is no exception.

Head up to the wellness area and meet Alexandra, your Tai Chi instructor. The art of Gung Fu, Qigong breathing and Tai Chi Chuan have been a constant throughout Alex’s life and she is well aware of the importance and impact it can have on an individual’s life.

The first steps to transformation start with a breath, the movements improve posture, balance, coordination, fitness, health and mental health.

You’ll be taken to a haven of calm, away from the noise and excitement of the show ground.

Tree Climbing

Activities, Activity Village, Woodland Adventure

We've teamed up with the largest provider of recreational tree climbing in the country, The Big Tree Climbing Company to offer unique experiences in the trees at Camper Calling for the whole family. 

They will teach you how to enter a tree’s canopy using ropes, knots and karabiners, whilst being securely attached in a harness at all times. Once at the top of the tree you will gain an experience which can’t be found on the ground and if you’re feeling brave you could try some branch walking before returning safely to the ground. 

Friday's Theme!

Friday, Activity Village, Fancy Dress

TIGHT, BRIGHT NEON LIGHTS

Hello Friday night RAVERS! Your Friday theme is ‘Tight, Bright Neon Lights’. Think 90s rave with 80s fashion. The bigger, the bolder, the better. Night will fall, the DJs will take charge and your UV paint will illuminate the dance floor. Glow sticks at the ready, kiddos.

Saturday's Theme!

Activity Village, Saturday, Fancy Dress

INTO THE JUNGLE

As the Ministry of Sound would say, Jungle. Is. Massive! Are you an explorer lost in the wilderness? Your favourite wild animal? Or a tropical palm looking absolutely fabulous in the sunshine? Fun for all the family. We can’t wait to see all you cool cats ‘n’ kittens in your Jungle attire!

Sunday's Theme: Competition Time!

Activity Village, Sunday, Fancy Dress

SEA CREATURES AND MUSICAL FEATURES

It’s competition time and we want to see you get creative with this theme! From a Little Mermaid scene to the Spice Girls… a Saxophone-playing Octopus… an accordion-wearing Crab… the more inventive and crazily-interpreted, the better! At 12pm in the Chaos Corner tent, ringmaster Gacko will be ready to judge your fabulous attire! Prizes to be won!

The Magic Teapot

Activities, Activity Village, Kids, food Village

The Magic Teapot is a lovely little oasis hidden away in our Lakeside Field. With the fire always burning and the kettle always simmering, the friendly teapot crew will be ready to offer you a refreshing cup of tea and coffee while the musicians play and sing, encouraging all to join in!

A place to sit and soak up the atmosphere with a cuppa, simply watching and taking it all in, or becoming part of the action.

Silent Disco

Woodland Adventure, Activities, Activity Village, Adults, Kids, Teens

Shh! Camper Calling’s worst kept secret IS BACK!

Head into the woods and find your voice as our DJs battle it out for crowd participation. Infamous and a heck of a lot of fun for all the family, head on in for the quietest disco in town!

P.S We had issues last year with some Callers holding on to headphones throughout the weekend. We are well aware of this and working to make it a better, fairer experience for everyone. We do need your help though! As well as us bringing more headsets, please make sure you and your family return yours after your silent party so other people can make great memories too.

Each headset requires a refundable cash deposit of £10.

Thank you ❤️

Handmade Theatre

Activities, Activity Village, At the edge of the woods, Teens, Kids

Handmade Theatre have been with Camper Calling from the start and will be returning in 2023 with a new production!

Tell Me a Story: ‘Everyone has a story to tell and a memory to share. Unlock yours in this family adventure down memory lane, experience stories of the people, places and objects we hold dear.’

Having worked closely with care homes that support those living with Dementia over recent years, we have found that music, storytelling and objects have brought to life memories that have been stored away, held close. This project has allowed us to collect stories, from older and younger audiences to look at the journeys of our lives through creative exploration. What does childhood and growing up feel like to different people, at different times, in different places?

The show itself will see musicians, performers and storytellers come together with puppetry and song to tell these stories and unlock memories, suitable for all ages
