20th July - Summer Camp Day Ticket
The Craft Weekend
Sunday 20th July
7am - 10:30pm
Two course evening feast from the fire included.
Probably Britain’s best luxury micro-festival, hosted right here on Hawarden Estate, by the same team who bring you masterclasses every single week at The Walled Garden School.
Day tickets to Summer Camp offer all the fun, adventure and food without the full weekend commitment.*
You’ll fill a long summer day swimming among lily pads in our private lake, discovering modern and heritage craft, dancing to live music, listening to inspiring talks, joining open-fire cooking workshops, soaking in the wood-fired hot tub and exploring the beautiful Hawarden Estate in high summer.
Come on your own, come as a family, come with friends; Summer Camp is for everyone, and the dog!
As a day ticket holder, you’ll have full access to Summer Camp from 7am-10:30pm. Your dinner, cooked over fire by the award-winning Hawarden Estate Farm Shop team and outstanding guest chefs, is included with your ticket. As are all cooking and craft workshops, lake activities, yoga, sauna sessions, foraging walks, talks, tastings and much more.
You can book a spot at our pop-up spa for massages and treatments, too.
Parking is free, and you're welcome to come and go as you please.
This is the escape you’re looking for!
*Full weekend commitment is very much encouraged, of course. Weekend tickets can be purchased via thegoodlifesociety.co.uk.

Testimonials & Press
Telegraph: “At the end of a day spent swimming past lily pads, carving a cack-handed spoon and singing really shockingly with much more gifted strangers, I found myself feeling better than I had in over a year. It’s wellness without the trite hashtags. And I love it.”
Stylist: “Experiences range from poetry workshops and guided open water swimming to whisky tasting and candle making… the ideal spot to unwind and reconnect with nature.”
Country Living: “Reinventing the festival: no headliners, no knickknack stalls, no queues from portaloos.”
A word on Summer Camp
“Summer Camp is something I’ve often dreamt of creating; a small, friendly, comfortable retreat based on the fabled camps of America but for all ages and with better food.
It will be about nature and the great outdoors; you’ll learn new skills, try new activities and make new friends.
Summer Camp will be a retreat, a place to recharge and to explore new places and ideas.
It will be beautiful and super-comfortable. There will be woodsmoke and starlight.
This is the place of your dreams.”
- Charlie Gladstone, Founder
