The Mersea Island Festival has been an annual event at Mersea Outdoors for the last 26 years.

The Festival brings together young people with or without a physical or learning disability. The camps are ideal for Inclusive clubs, Phab and Gateway clubs, Youth Groups and families with disabled young people. They provide an opportunity to try out
new activities, make new friends and have loads of fun!!!

Over 300 people come from all over the UK either to the week camp, the weekend camp, or both!

What’s on offer?
A wide variety of activities that are fun and exciting but also challenge and stimulate, helping to build self-confidence and esteem in participants. Each year the Festival has a different theme and previously we’ve been Pirates, Romans and Superheroes!

Activities may include water-skiing, archery, inflatable fun, zip wire, climbing, dancing and music workshops, circus, skills, swimming, speedboat, fishing and art activities including pottery, carving and tie-dye, dog agility workshops, pitch & putt, day excursions, discos, karaoke, live music, big screen cinema and bowling. All included in the price… and inclusive to all!

Accommodation and food
Accommodation is mostly under canvas, with some beds in cabins for those who find it impossible to
sleep in a tent. Meals are served in the dining hall and snacks and drinks are also available. A bar is
open during the entertainment each evening.

Accessibility and support
The whole site is on one level and the halls, bar, toilet and shower blocks are wheelchair accessible.
First Aid cover is provided and qualified instructors run all the adventurous activities. Our team of
volunteers are on hand to make sure that everyone can have a fun and great experience, whatever their
ability. Individuals will have a great time and soon make new friends. If you need any personal
assistance we do ask that you come along with a friend, buddy or support worker as we're unable to
provide one to one personal care.
