Camper Calling wouldn’t be the same without Tom Dibb and the Camper Van Live Lounge! Catch him in the Lakeside Food Village in his incredible 1989 VW T25 converted camper van, 'Pickle'. The perfect music to serve alongside ice cold cider and sunshine!
Find out more about each artist playing with Tom on our Live Music page!
We’re thrilled to welcome the poets and comedians of Word Guerrillas to the Woodlands of Camper Calling. Come take a seat and hear a verse and have a laugh with the performers, or even grab an open mic spot for yourself!

Black Goat Adventures are back offering lessons in Bushcraft and survival!
Pick your skill and book into the corresponding slot:
Fire by friction, Shelter Building, Water Filters, Carving, Forest Foraging / Tree ID Walk, Fire Lighting with flint and steel (Viking style), Basic Fire Lighting.
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.
Learn a new skill at Camper Calling!
The wonderful team from Black Goat Adventures will be on hand to teach you the art of Slacklining. Test your balance and learn a new skill.
Please arrive 10 minutes before your time of booking for a quick safety briefing.
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.
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 ❤️
