Camping is available for both the Saturday and Sunday nights of the Beltane weekend at a location close to Thornborough Henge.
There is a charge for camping of £3 per adult per night which can be paid on arrival. This nominal fee is a small but necessary evil to cover the costs unavoidably incurred by providing the campsite.
PLEASE NOTE: Camping is NOT at the same location as it was for last year's event.
Dogs are permitted at the campsite but must not cause a nuisance to other campers.
For full details of the campsite and guidelines for campers, please complete the form below.
What to Wear and what to Bring:
Wear your most wonderful festival outfits
(if you don't have a wonderful festival outfit then seek guidance at your local fancy dress hire shop).
Bring drums, pipes, didgeridoos or whatever else you think will help us create a good Beltane vibe. Bring yourselves, bring enthusiasm, bring your creativity (and failing all that, bring Mead).
Calling a Quarter at the Event:
In our Beltane ceremony we 'Call the Quarters' of:
East (Air); South (Fire); West (Water) and North (Earth).
Anyone volunteering to call a quarter at the event is invited to say in their own words what their chosen element means to them.
Contact us about Calling a Quarter
Having a Stall at the Event:
Having a stall at the event is free but we ask all stallholders to make a donation to help cover the costs of the event.
If you would like to have a stall then please contact us for more information about when to arrive and where to pitch.

Getting Handfasted at the Event:
Handfasting is a traditional form of wedding or betrothal ceremony.
Many couples have been handfasted at Beltane at Thornborough Henge in previous years.
If you would like to 'tie the knot' at this year's event then please contact us.
Contact us about Handfasting
Helping out with the Event:
We are constantly in need of volunteers to help run this free event.
If you could give any of your time over the course of the Beltane weekend to help us with such mundane,
but essential, tasks as the stewarding of car-parking (at either the campsite or the Henge) then please contact us.
