Hold onto your sun hats, folks, because Wild Canvas is back and bolder than ever! This summer, trade your mundane backyard for a rollicking, riverside retreat at the Wild Canvas Boutique Camping Village.
Nestled in the breathtaking meadows of the historic Turvey House Estate in Bedfordshire, this five-week pop-up promises a heady mix of relaxation and revelry just a short 1.45-hour jaunt from London.
Set your reminders for Thursday, July 25th to Tuesday, August 27th, because this is one summer you won’t want to miss.
Nature, Nurture, and Nonstop Fun
Forget the daily grind and dive into the refreshing embrace of nature at Wild Canvas. Picture this: you’re lazing by the river, with paddle-boarding lessons on one side and spontaneous kids’ crafts clubs on the other.
The event’s heartbeat is The Nest, a riverside well-being haven offering morning yoga, pilates, and even a riverside sauna.
The Nest’s treatment tent will pamper you silly, and with bootcamps thrown in for good measure, you might just leave fitter than you arrived.
Kids are in for a treat with a superhero disco, dance classes, and storytelling sessions under the giant Kata Tipi tent, aka Canvas Social.
This rain-proof sanctuary also hosts talent shows and evening socials, keeping everyone entertained regardless of the weather.
Camp in Style
Camping here isn’t about roughing it—unless that’s your thing. Choose from a range of plush accommodations: Glastonbury’s handmade Tipis, contemporary Yurt-Tents, or the luxurious Star Bell Tents.
Each sleeps four and comes fully furnished with beds, bedding, and your own fire pit and outdoor seating.
If you’re a DIY camper, no worries—there are generously spaced pitches for your own tents and camper vans.
The pièce de résistance this year is the Boutique Camping Village. Imagine five fully furnished Star Bell tents arranged around a communal seating area—perfect for those who fancy a little extra comfort without sacrificing the great outdoors.
Eat, Drink, and Be Merry
Prepare your taste buds for a culinary adventure. The on-site café dishes out everything from hearty breakfasts and street food to wood-fired pizzas and DE NADAS empanadas.
Fresh salads are on hand for the health-conscious, while Wild HQ, the rustic courtyard bar, serves up local beers, ales, and signature cocktails.
Music lovers, rejoice! While mellow playlists set the tone throughout the week, the weekends are a different beast altogether.
Live DJs will take the stage, including the likes of Patrick Forge, Abi Clarke, Dom Servini, Johnny Reckless, Handson Family, Earl Gateshead, and The Mighty Zaf. It’s a lineup guaranteed to keep you dancing under the stars.
