There will be over 40 workshop sessions at the camp – see below for the outline programme (subject to change). The order of listing does not reflect exactly when on the day the session takes place. A full schedule will be sent to participants and posted on our website very soon.
Several slots are being held open for sessions that people coming to the camp want to organise.
Every morning starts at 9.30am with a camp meeting where everyone is welcome to contribute.
There will also be: playreading, DIY acoustic music, an evening of poetry for Adrian Mitchell, Spinning Yarns for Peace and other storytelling, Felt making, DJing, a talent show and film screenings. And there will be plenty of time for walks, bike rides and relaxation in the beautiful Vale of the White Horse countryside.
