About Summer Camp
Running for three long weekends in July and August, Summer Camp is a chance to escape. A chance to reset and recharge. It is about slowing down, about meeting new people, about learning new things.
It is small and intimate.
You’ll meet new friends and spend time with inspiring people.
The days will be spent in the company of world experts in nature and outdoor craft. You’ll join workshops, go on expeditions and listen to inspiring talks.
You’ll eat incredible food. Your dinner every evening is included in the ticket price and is cooked for you by our team of exceptional chefs.
The evenings will be spent together in the Walled Garden where there will be light entertainment, a bar and campfires to gather around as the sun goes down.
You’ll then head off to bed to stay in luxury with brand new, and proper, showers and loos just around the corner.
You’ll leave Summer Camp feeling inspired and refreshed.
This is the place of your dreams.

A Celebration of Summer Wildlife with David Winnard
A Celebration of Summer Wildlife with David Winnard
Sunday 17th August
10am-1pm
Breakfast pastry and unlimited tea and coffee included.
Join us for a pleasant stroll through the grounds of the historic Hawarden Estate to encounter a variety of interesting wild species that call Hawarden home. From birds and insects to plants and mammals, we will seek out some of the wonderful wildlife of the summer months.
On this walk we will see how different species fit into the landscape and the overall ecosystem, from understanding how a single flower species can be host to a variety of insects and fungi, to looking for evidence of what birds have been breeding.
Whilst this walk does not focus on one particular group of wildlife, it allows us to follow nature’s lead; if we find an interesting butterfly we will look at that, if we see some signs of mammals, we will work out what they were, if we discover a new wildflower for the estate then we will appreciate that. We let nature dictate what we discover (with a little help and instruction from your friendly nature guide, David).
This is the kind of walk where you set off not knowing what you may discover and come back with an experience of seeing nature in all its glory, at a beautiful time of year, in a stunning setting.
£45 per person.
Timings
10am: Meet at The Terrace in The Walled Garden
10.15am: Introductions from David before heading off on the walk
12.30pm: Head back to The Walled Garden
1pm: Finish

Late Summer Foraging with David Winnard
Late Summer Foraging with David Winnard
Sunday 31st August
10am-1pm
Breakfast pastry and unlimited tea and coffee included.
The flowers, fruits and fungi of Hawarden Estate.
This is the perfect time of the year to get to grips with the edible, medicinal and poisonous plants found on the estate.
If you are new to foraging, or know a little bit, then this walk will be perfect for you as we discuss the dos and don’ts of foraging (including what the law is) as well as delving into identifying some of the commoner plants and maybe some fungi that are present in the hedgerows and woods.
Expect to be finding fruits like blackberries and apples and nuts like hazelnuts and sweet chestnut, among the huge variety of other plants that have so much folklore behind them (like Mugwort - a favourite of your nature guide, David).
Not only will we learn how to identify these species but also discuss ways of how to preserve them, whether that is drying them or doing something more involved like turning our finds in to liqueurs.
We will forage in some of the wilder parts of the estate as well as look around some of the more formal bits of garden - not for the cultivated plants, but for some of the more interesting ‘weeds’ which often have many uses (just don’t tell the gardeners we are looking at their ‘weeds’!).
You will leave feeling confident to find and pick your own foraged plants from the wild.
£45 per person.

About Gail Bryson
Gail is a textile, graphic and product designer. She specialises in simple and graphic prints that complement a wide range of home styles.
Trained at Edinburgh College of Art, she developed her design skills at The Conran Shop and The Nest before subsequently becoming co-founder and creative director of Bryson Loxley. Amongst her clients there are John Lewis and Jamie Oliver. She has also collaborated individually with other small independent businesses on a wide range of projects over the years.
Gail is a firm believer that good design will always last the test of time. Her products are designed to last both in design and manufacture, and are mainly all hand-printed and hand-sewn in London. Ultimately, her aim is to create things that can passed down through the generations, like the collection of linen she has inherited from her own family.
Colour also plays a big part in Gail’s work. Combinations are dreamed up from photographs taken on her travels and provide inspiration back in her studio.
