Saturday,Kids

Calling All Kidz Club

Activities, Activity Village, Kids, Carnival Field

Keep your little ones occupied with all sorts of ‘hands-on’ fun in the Kidz Paint Yurt! Pull up a pew and get stuck in, making jewellery, key-rings and being creative with pottery painting too! For the more energetic kids they also have bouncy animals, skipping ropes, hula hoops and much more!

Open all weekend for kids of all ages, there is plenty to make, see and do!

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!

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!

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

Musician and vocalist Ralph Taylor was born and raised in Suffolk, where he first fused his blend of alternative pop with a loop pedal. Ralph now plays with his talented 4-piece-band, adding yet more edge to this already dynamic performer. Attracted to every genre, he’s blended his sound into a distinctive layered style. One for the summer playlist, it’s perfect Camper Calling listening!

The genre-defying singer, songwriter and producer FullMarx is a modern viral sensation. After paying his dues in the pubs and clubs of the country, Fullmarx had major exposure with a viral hit and was personally invited by Lucy Spraggan to join her on tour.

Tom first picked up a guitar late in his teens where a few modest attempts at bedroom songwriting, evolved into something he hadn’t set out to do. He’s turned a fair few heads since then, sharing the stage with Old Sea Brigade, Billie Marten and being picked out as a favourite by BBC Radio 2’s Jo Whiley. We know you’re going to love him!
