About

A series of luxury micro festivals
Workshops, feasts, wellness and freedom

The Walled Garden
Hawarden Estate, North East Wales

Running for three long weekends in July and August, Summer Camp is a chance to escape. A chance to reset and recharge. It is about slowing down, about meeting new people, about learning new things.

It is small and intimate.

You’ll meet new friends and spend time with inspiring people.

The days will be spent in the company of world experts in nature and outdoor craft. You’ll join workshops, go on expeditions and listen to inspiring talks.

You’ll eat incredible food. Your dinner every evening is included in the ticket price and is cooked for you by our team of exceptional chefs. 

The evenings will be spent together in the Walled Garden where there will be light entertainment, a bar and campfires to gather around as the sun goes down.

You’ll then head off to bed to stay in luxury with brand new, and proper, showers and loos just around the corner.

You’ll leave Summer Camp feeling inspired and refreshed.

This is the place of your dreams.

Summer Camp 2025

Three long weekends in The Walled Garden of Hawarden Castle.

19th July - 5th August 2024.

“Summer Camp is something I’ve often dreamt of creating; a small, friendly, comfortable retreat based on the fabled camps of America but for all ages and with better food.

It will be about nature and the great outdoors; you’ll learn new skills, try new activities and make new friends.

Summer Camp will be a retreat, a place to recharge and to explore new places and ideas.

It will be beautiful and super-comfortable. There will be woodsmoke and starlight.

This is the place of your dreams.”
