The Woodland Cafe and campfire, art and wellbeing workshops and woodland illuminations, make it more than just a campsite. Yan and Henck, The Big Flower Fight stars, will be running plant-based monkey making workshops, Poppy Okotcho will be hosting permaculture sessions , and Beans on Toast will be back for more too!

The shape of We Are Not A Festival grew as the co-founders, Shelley Styles and Luke Brown, spent Spring building an allotment, getting their hands dirty and having the sense of joy from the simplicity of seeing plants grow and flourish. As the nation craves outdoor space, conversations of how to make time in nature possible for more people developed; utilising their experience of large scale festivals and international events they have created a safe yet exciting experience.
Shelley Styles, Co-Founder of We Are Not A Festival said ‘’We wanted to offer a safe environment for families and groups of friends to camp out and enjoy the beautiful and much-loved Pippingford Park. We’re celebrating the important things that impact our wellbeing - time with loved ones, nature and open spaces to play and wander,

creativity and a sense of curiosity through free activities and pre-booked workshops - all in a calm and spacious environment. We have just several hundred campers onsite rather than the thousands the site can manage - giving acres of space for guests!’’
