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.

You guys asked for themes, so say Aloha to our Sunday night over at The Carnival Stage!
Grab your coconuts, grass skirts, garlands and garish shirts, Aloha is a family vacation to Hawaii, featuring your favourite 90s pop classics!
From Britney to Bjork, Spice Girls to Soul II Soul, the decks will be spinning all your pop favourites!

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!

Please don’t hold on to the headphones throughout the weekend. This will make it a fairer experience for everyone; Headsets will then never become low and other people can make great memories too!
These headphones have no purpose outside of this specific silent disco either…so there’s really no need to take them. Return them after your disco session so the fun can roll on!

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
