Wild Canvas, the one-of-a-kind camping experience blending nature, music, creative arts and
wellness, is set to return for its sixth year in August 2025, with tickets now on sale. The event runs
from Thursday 7th August to Tuesday 26th August 2025.

Wild Canvas is back bigger and better than ever!


Set across three scenic fields, this relaxed summer escape takes place at the picturesque riverside
meadows of Turvey House Estate in Bedfordshire, just 1 hour 45 minutes away from London.
Wild Canvas is designed as the perfect getaway for those looking to unplug, unwind and reconnect.
Whether after a laid-back camping retreat or an activity-filled break, the experience is tailored for all
ages with plenty on offer.


Guests can take part in a range of activities, both complementary and paid, including bushcraft,
circus skills, life drawing and kids craft sessions. Paddleboarding lessons are available, or campers can
bring their own kayaks and SUPs to explore River Great Ouse. Other activities include an outdoor
games club, kids disco and talent show. New for 2025, an intimate live music stage will feature
small-scale jazz and folk performances on Saturday evenings.


The Nest, the well-being area has expanded and will offer a diverse programme including yoga,
pilates, fitness classes, sound baths and free daily Rise & Move sessions. A treatment tent and
riverside wood-fired sauna complete the outdoor wellness experience for those looking for
something more to treat themselves.


Guests have a choice of accommodation options to suit different styles of camping. Furnished Bell
Tents, sleeping up to four guests, come fully equipped with beds and bedding, outdoor seating and
fire pits. The Nova Air Dome Tents, a brand-new spacious pod-style design from Boutique Camping,
offer even more space, sleeping up to six guests with a fully furnished interior. For those who prefer a
traditional camping experience, spacious car-free camping fields are available, alongside a
designated area for campervans and live-in vehicles.

Wild Canvas is back bigger and better than ever!


Food and drink complement the Wild Canvas experience and campers can enjoy hearty breakfasts
and delicious fresh coffee each morning. The on-site café serves Caribbean-inspired curries and
soups, paninis and wholesome salads while food trucks and De Nadas Empanadas provide a variety
of street food options.


The Wild HQ Courtyard Bar offers local beers, ales, signature cocktails and wine. Curated playlists set
the tone throughout the week but weekends bring the event to life with live DJs and musical
performances throughout.

For those who haven’t experiences Wild Canvas camping, it really is a fantastic place for the whole family. The activity timetable is packed full of fun activities and the easy access to the river means wild swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding and splashing around is right on your (tent) doorstep.
