Organiser's description
Perched next to the sea, our farm field festival site is in the perfect spot, at the fulcrum of the event routes, with the camping site, at the fulcrum of the race routes. We have moved the festival back to August, to ceklebrate the end of summer and as then last hurrah before the kids go back to school (in some cases).
Make this an autumn to remember and bring your family.
This year, we are kicking off the festival with a communal meal and live music, preceded by a cafe and bar, selling locally brewed beer, non-alcoholic drinks, vodka and gin, as well as cocktails.
The Festival site
The farmer has kindly given access to his fields, overlooking the idyllic Hope Cove, and you’ll be hard-pressed to find a better location to wake up to in the southwest. close to ideal swimming spots in Hope Cove, East Soar and Bantham Bay.
This year, we will have a camp village and festival village, which will be clearly separated, to allow flow and easy access.
The campsite is suitable for up to 100 tents, parking and camper vans, as well as and serving as the fulcrum for all our trail events, which is ideal for spectators.
We’ll be offering extra compost toilet facilities and warm showers, as well as two lovely venues for our speaker’s and music evening.
Unique South West Coast Path Trails
We have lined up some of the best coast routes on the South West Coast path for our night run, 5k, 10k or half marathon, marathon and Summit Wild Ultra as well as kid’s races.
We will kick off the festival with a family-friendly guided run on Friday before the swim run and Hard Rock Coast swim, as well as 10k and 5k events on Saturday and the half marathon, marathon and ultra on Sunday.
On Friday and Saturday evening, there will be a fire in the festival field with live music and a communal meal option on Friday and Sunday, alongside our caterers.
Forest School
You can drop your kids at forest school from 10am to 12 and 1.30pm to 3.30pm on Saturday and Sunday, with our experienced and qualified forest school leader Muddy Petals, while taking part in an event, or one of our guided wild swims.
To join the forest school, you can buy tickets separately or book weekender tickets (camping and parking).
Entertainment
There’ll be children’s entertainments and the cafe and bar open on Friday evening to kick start the weekend. On Saturday there’s a speaker’s afternoon, yoga, massage, movement sessions, forest school and live music.
Other stuff
Kids races, local food, a drinks bar and a speaker’s evening, kid's activities/film night, outdoor yoga, functional movement sessions and a wild swim.
