About into the Wild

What else does Into the Wild do?

Into the Wild runs a number of events throughout the year. Our largest family festival is our Into the Wild Summer Festival, our smaller family festival is the Beltane Fire Festival in May. We have two smaller adult only gatherings  (this is because the Emerson College where we hold them doesn't allow kids) and our smaller events at Samhain in October and our Winter Warmer in February.

We also host fundraisers for the Nepal Earthquake Appeal, hosting Alash Ensemble at Zu Studios in Lewes, raising around £2000.  We recently hosted a fundraiser for Syrian refugee children. And another for Standing Rock Sioux Indians, where we raised nearly £2500.

Why is the festival drink and drug free?

This offers the opportunity to get into it, rather than out of it.

It helps create a friendly, safe and healthy environment for all.

There are loads of events you can do these things, its great to wake up witha clear mind and have a day of fun and games.

Imagine feeling healthier and happier after a festival than when you arrived.

​

What do I need to bring?

We provide a camping pitch, You need to bring the rest. If you are camping and are seeking guidance on what to bring for your setup there are a number of useful guides online here. For the workshops, a cushion or sheepskin, blanket, and bottle of water is very useful. Some of the workshops are very restful, so be sure to have materials to make yourself comfy and warm. 

Where can I camp and can I take my car on site?

Please ensure you bring no more than you are able to carry to the campsite as for health and safety reasons cars have to be parked away from our main camping areas. It may be up to a 5 minute walk. We may have a few small off road vehicles to help carry stuff for those who really need it, if so however there will be a significant wait for these. 

Can I bring my campervan or caravan?

Yes. If you are bringing a campervan, caravan or similar live-in vehicle please purchase a live-in vehicle pass. It will save you time if you do this in advance although you can do this on the day if necessary.  We aim for each live-in vehicle pitch being around 5m x 6m, although there may be slight flexibility on this. We try to avoid mixing tents and live-in vehicles as much as possible although reasonably-sized awnings are fine. See tickets page.

​

Can I bring a bell tent?

If you are bringing a large bell tent or similar structure that you can only carry by vehicle be aware that we may ask you to buy a live-in vehicle pass on the day if you need to park next to it.

​

What is the camping set up?

There is a communal fire to toast your toes, but please do not build your own camp fire anywhere. Do make sure you bring enough warm bedding to avoid being nippy at night. You need to bring all of your own camping set up. There’s a stall selling some camping necessities, such as tent pegs, but do come prepared! There’s no light pollution, so bring a torch for late night trundles. A waterproof is always useful in the British weather, fingers crossed we don’t need them! If you’d rather glamp and rent a tipi, there is more information about this on the website:

Can I build a fire?

Personal camp fires are not allowed anywhere on site – we provide communal fires instead. Please do not light candles or solid fuel fires inside your tent at any time. Always be mindful around fires of any kind. They are one of the biggest risks.

​

What size is a live-in vehicle pitch?

A live-in vehicle ticket for a campervan, caravan or similar entitles you to a 5m x 6m bay although there may be slight flexibility on this. If you have an awning or small tents with you, they will need to fit within this space too.  If you require more space we may ask you to buy an additional live-in ticket.
