CAMPOUT 2026

CAMPOUT 2026: 

Join us for long summer days immersed in nature — talks, workshops, live music, sauna sessions, nature walks, wellbeing activities and late-night conversation and song around the campfire.

For our Campfire Convention 10th anniversary, we return to where it all began: The Bridge at Michaelchurch Escley. In the foothills of the Black Mountains, above Hay-on-Wye, this beloved pub venue — complete with its own roastery, distillery and proper bar at the heart of things — has now extended into 30 acres of surrounding fields. It offers us a beautiful expanse of land to grow into and the perfect setting for our next chapter.

Across four days, expect the full Campout blend:
Speakers, panels, workshops, wellbeing sessions, breathwork, meditation, yoga, live music, DJs, stand-up poetry, 5Rhythms dance, singing circles, a writers’ circle, an opening fire ceremony, the Heart to Heart tent, and plenty more still to be announced.

"Campfire has become a home for so many of us, a space where friendships form, ideas spark, and the best of our humanity is welcomed around the fire." Barbara Franken

Campout is a grassroots gathering focused on personal awareness, connection and systems change. This year we are gathering to continue our exploration into how we can work together in community to inspire the changes we all wish to see. We believe that a new counterculture is already  emerging around extraordinary levels of synchronicity, of as we explore nature connection, localism, healthy living, personal empowerment and trailblazing new models around how we relate to each other and reclaim our sovereignty, all within the context of community. We also intend to have fun while we're doing all this! 

Our four day gathering offers a rare opportunity to put our phones away, break free from the noise and immerse ourselves in nature to share ideas and take time to appreciate ourselves and each other.  Those attending are invited to co-create the event together and we encourage everyone purchasing a ticket to donate some of their time as a volunteer.
