Spiceland Summer Settlement 2026

Following the success of the previous three years, West Somerset Quakers are kindly hosting an Intergenerational, day visitor & camping event, supported by Quaker Life staff from the region. It is being held at ‘Spiceland’, on the Devon-Somerset border. It is open to Quakers and those wishing to know more about Quakers. It is a regional event for those living in Somerset, Wiltshire, West Dorset, Devon and Cornwall.

The programme will be flexible with varied activities and plenty of time to enjoy the surroundings.

Important note about bookings: this year we are issuing tickets for:

• each day's activities including refreshments & meals (i.e. being on site during the day)

• camping each night (i.e. staying on site nightime)

This means that if you are intending to camp, please be sure to book BOTH  day tickets and camping tickets.

Please note that this is a draft programme and it may change because of the weather and unforeseen circumstances such as availability of those running the sessions. We are planning where possible to offer a main activity, a specific offering for families if the main offering doesn't lend itself to being all-age, and a quiet/reflective option each day.
