Wild Canvas Camping
Wild Canvas, the one-of-a-kind camping experience with a relaxed festival atmosphere is back for Summer 2024.
The five-week pop-up, now in its fifth year, is nestled within the picturesque riverside meadows of the historic Turvey House Estate in Bedfordshire - just 1.45 hours from London.
Running across the school holidays, from Thursday 25th July to Tuesday 27th August, the event is the perfect location for camping and relaxation. Guests can escape the everyday and immerse themselves in nature, music, creative arts and wellness. With a welcoming and relaxed ethos, the campsite is perfect for all ages.
There is a range of activities on offer for children, with 3-4 free activities per day at the weekend and 1-2 per day on the weekdays. These include a drop-in kids’ crafts club, the ever-popular superhero kids’ disco, camp-fire songs, talent shows, family yoga, story-telling, outdoor games, dance sessions and more.
This is in addition to paid activities from coached paddle boarding (kayaks and paddleboards can be brought or hired locally) to circus skills training, specialised arts classes and more.
For the grown-ups, this year, Wild Canvas will feature an enhanced well-being offering, with free morning sessions (from yoga to pilates, site runs and bootcamps), a range of classes throughout the day, a treatment tent and a new riverside sauna to complete the outdoor experience in a brand new dedicated riverside spot.
This is in addition to the, also new, Canvas Social - a giant tipi tent which will be used for kids’ activities, evening events like Saturday Supper Clubs and as a rain-free café.
Guests can choose accommodation like traditional Tipis handmade in Glastonbury or modern Yurt-Tents, as well as having the option of pitching their own tents or camper vans on generously spaced grass pitches. Tipis and Yurt-tents sleep 4 people and come furnished with beds and bedding, complimentary outdoor fire pits and outdoor seating.
Campers can expect campsite staples and more from the on-site café including hot breakfasts, BBQ options, wood fired pizzas, DE NADAS empanadas and fresh wholesome salads. Wild HQ, the authentic courtyard bar will be serving local beers and ales alongside signature cocktails.
While Wild Canvas’ groovy playlists set the tone throughout the week, the weekends will come alive with an all-star roster of live DJs who will keep the party going. Among the artists confirmed for 2024 are Patrick Forge, Abi Clark, Dom Servini and Kengo Oshima, with more names to follow.
