BOOKING

To book, please click here for a booking form and send with a deposit of £40 per adult/£20 per child per event or full payment, as explained on the form. Confirmation will be sent out promptly on receipt of your booking. Pre-payment of the full price when booking is appreciated.

Meals and accommodation are provided for all events except the August Tribal Gatherings, where a fairly priced club kitchen provides regular meals and vegetarian meals. Please bring your own tent for the August Tribal Gatherings. From the end of May, we are often unavailable by telephone - so please book at least two weeks in advance of an event.

VENUES

The events take place at the following venues: The Summer Camp set in a magnificent secluded valley, in mid-Wales, which so many visitors have fallen in love with. Click here for a virtual tour. A beautiful snug 16th century farmhouse surrounded by woodlands and hills in rural mid-Wales. The venue is in a secluded valley of it's own, 4 fields from the nearest house. The venue sits within 2 and a half acres of it's own grounds with streams, ponds, mature trees and lawns. Various locations within Ireland. Full directions and travel details will be sent through the post, on receipt of bookings.

PRACTICALITIES

EVENT SCHEDULES: All events start around twilight (7-9pm) and finish at lunchtime of the date printed. The exception to this rule is the Enlightenment Intensive which finishes at 9.45pm, for which you are welcome to stay on to the following morning.

SHELTER: Summer Camp: Celtic roundhouse and our collection of Turkoman gers, yurts, tipis, benders and bedouin tents. We can provide meeting and shared sleeping space for many people. For all events EXCEPT the August Tribal Gatherings there is no need to bring a tent - all will be provided. Please note, that the Summer Campsite is simple living - there is no electricity, running hot water or showers, but we do provide regular hot meals, toilet and simple washing facilities. Farmhouse: There is no need to bring a tent. The farmhouse consists of meeting and sleeping spaces, hot showers and a sauna! If you have any questions please contact us.

CHILDREN: Children are more than welcome at the August Tribal gatherings and Children/Youth events but not at any of the other events. At the August Trial Gathering we make provision to look after children at certain times within the Children's scene, but parents must come prepared to look after their own children and take full responsibility for them.

WHAT TO BRING: Essentially: a tent (August Tribal Gatherings only), sleeping bag, blanket, towells, warm and out-door clothing, anything to make your sleeping space soft and warm. Boots: Wellingtons are by far the most useful for crossing the valley’s many streams and for easy on and off (entering and leaving tents) though not so good for longer walks on mountain paths. Walking boots\sturdy shoes are also reccomended. Additionally (depending which events you attend); musical instruments (music workshops), ceremonial artefacts, stylish and beautiful clothes and anything else you feel appropriate for ceremony and celebration. Poems, stories and songs.

WHAT NOT TO BRING: Dogs. There are 5,000 sheep at the Summer Campsite!

OTHER THINGS: We strive to provide a welcoming and inspiring nomadic paradise at our Summer Camp - but offer few 21st Century facilities, and we cannot always control the weather! In our camp, please expect to live elegantly but very simply.

PREPARE YOURSELF: Relax and take time for yourself leading up to the event. Prepare for it carefully; gather your kit, change pace, and slowly get ready to open up for something new.

Please respect our neighbours and the countryside: drive carefully, CLOSE all gates behind you, take all your litter home, and leave the venue's as you would like others to enjoy them. If you are driving, please read carefully the instructions which will be sent in the post for parking and arrival on site.
