We also would kindly request that you do not bring your dog to our morning meditations or relaxation activities.

Do I need to bring my own chair? 

Yes! Please bring a camping chair, cushion or whatever you need to comfortably sit around the campfire or in the bell tent space. 

Can I bring my children?

Will there be a marquee?

We are a brand new event and don't yet have the budget for a marquee tent, so please bring an umbrella for rain/sun protection!

What to bring

The joy of vanlife is having all the things you need with you without having to pack a suitcase! But just in case you weren’t sure please see below for our suggestions of what to bring to our events.

Chocks- 

Most of our sites are wild which means they are on slightly uneven ground. If you want to be more level, please bring levelling blocks/chocks, a vanlife essential! If you do not own some yet these are what I use 

Note- Levelling your van is an art that gets easier with practice - it’s important to manage your expectations around the wonkyness of your van!

 

Firewood-

Depending on the location, you may be able to buy firewood on site for a personal firepit outside your van on Friday night. If not then you will need to bring your own. Please see specific event for more details. (firewood and firepit will always be provided for Saturday’s campfire dinner and also on Friday nights if it is a Vanlife Retreat Event.)

Each event's costs are covered by the tickets sold. If you cancel 60 days before you will receive a refund minus a £10 charge to cover processing fees. After this time no refunds can be offered unless due to cancellation of the event by the organiser. We will try our best to offer a credit note to another event but we cannot guarantee that this will be offered.
