The camp site is a permanent one, surrounded by mature trees and is well drained. Car parking is at one end of the field and cars are moved there after we have unloaded and set up. We have limited capacity for live-in vehicles, so please book them in so we can allocate space along the hedge line, otherwise they will need to remain in the car park. Situated around the field are compost toilets, sinks, and water points. Hot showers are available all day.
The Gate team will warmly welcome you from midday on the Friday until Sunday evening, though most people arrive during Saturday. Throughout the camp, the Gate is your first port of call for information and a supportive space if needed.
Next to the Gate is the First Aid tent where you will find basic first aid supplies but we would highly recommend you to bring your own first aid kit, sun screen, etc with you to camp.
The contact details of the First Aider on call will be displayed on a board outside.

In front of the Cafe and Shop is the area we call the Village Green. It serves as a focal point for many of the activities that take place at the camp, particularly involving children and teens. Various sports and games happen here. This is also where you will find the space for under 5's and their carers. There is a sandpit and a selection of toys. There are also some organised activities to get involved in.
