Wild Canvas Camping

Now in its 6th year, Wild Canvas is a much-loved summer escape nestled in the wildflower meadows of the Turvey House Estate, Bedfordshire. Set along the banks of the River Great Ouse, it offers a unique blend of camping and glamping, music, wellness, nature, and family-friendly activities, all with a laid-back, festival-style vibe.

Whether you’re pitching your own tent or glamping in comfort, the site is welcoming, relaxed, and perfect for all ages. Families can enjoy a full programme of complimentary activities, including arts and crafts, outdoor games, family yoga, the ever-popular superhero kids’ disco, campfire songs and talent shows.

Parents can unwind in the wood-fired riverside sauna, take part in wellness sessions, or simply soak up the music and atmosphere. Children are free to roam, play, and make memories in a safe, natural setting.

Wild Canvas isn’t just a campsite, it’s a summer gathering where nature, creativity and community come together.

Wild Canvas is not just a campsite, and not quite a festival - it’s a unique blend of both, offering an experience you won’t find anywhere else. Nestled by the River Great Ouse, it combines the freedom of camping and glamping with a carefully curated mix of live music, wellness activities, creative workshops and river adventures.

What truly sets the event apart is it's warm, welcoming community, guests return year after year, drawn by the relaxed atmosphere, family-friendly vibe, and the chance to reconnect with nature and each other. With features like a wood-fired sauna, coached kayaking and paddleboarding, and a vibrant kids’ programme, Wild Canvas delivers a rich, memorable experience.

Wild Canvas is a true playground for kids, set in safe, car-free fields where they can run free and explore with peace of mind. The site features its very own river beach, perfect for splashing and adventures by the water.

Children dive into a packed programme of superhero discos, arts and crafts, outdoor games, campfire songs, and talent shows, all designed to ignite creativity and fun. Evenings are made magical with roasting marshmallows around the campfire, creating lasting memories with family and new friends.

With endless opportunities for discovery, play, and connection in a safe, natural environment, Wild Canvas is a place where kids feel free, inspired, and truly at home.
