THEMED PARTY NIGHTS
Our party and village themes this year are based on the animal kingdom. At the fancy dress party on the last night of each camp (Thursday/Sunday) we’re hoping to see lots of ‘animals’ dancing along to the live bands. You don’t have to go the whole ‘hog’ with a full outfit. Just a hat, top or mask is fine.
And on the Tuesday and Friday night, we’ll be having a ‘Spots and Stripes Party’. Wear something spotty or stripy, or both! It doesn’t have to be animal related – though you might kill two ‘birds’ with one stone (not literally, of course) with a zebra or leopard costume!
We hope people won’t ‘chicken’ out and will join in the fun. But if dressing up isn’t for you, you won’t feel like a ‘fish’ out of water’. We’ll still have a ‘whale’ of a time.
KIT LIST
On confirmation of your booking we’ll send you a kit list or CLICK HERE to download one.
ARRIVALS
Arrivals are from 5pm. The volunteers will show you to your village and dinner is served from 6.30pm to 8pm, followed by the evening entertainment. Our activity programme starts the next morning.
DEPARTURES
Both camps finish after lunch.
FIRST AID AND MEDICATION SUPPORT
The Festival makes sure that there are qualified first aiders on site to help anyone who might need some urgent treatment after an injury. For any medical assistance beyond that we can provide details of the nearest pharmacist, medical practice or hospital.
Please note that the volunteer staff team cannot supply individual, one to one personal care e.g. toileting, showering or skin cream applications. We also cannot guarantee support for individuals with the taking of medication. Where someone is attending with support, it is expected that assistance with taking medication will be given by that person.
