The Druid Camp is one of the biggest annual gatherings of the Druid community in Britain.
Running over four to five days every summer, the Camp was first held in July 2000. Founded by Emma Restall Orr of The Druid Network and Mark Graham of The Charnwood Grove, it is now run by members of the Druid community, facilitated by Mark and Michelle Axe. The aim of The Druid Camp is to celebrate and develop the community of modern Druidry.
Everyone is welcome! There are Druids and those studying the tradition through many different Orders, teachers and strands of Druidry. There are people who follow other nature-based spiritualities and philosophies. There are those simply interested or curious who are seeking a community or gathering of like-minded souls.
Over the years, Druid Camp has found a home in the lovely countryside of the Forest of Dean, on the border of England and Wales. Initially in an embracing hollow surrounded by hills, mistletoe'd oaks and a cooling stream, it moved to a hilltop encircled by the river Severn on three sides. Two totally different yet equally nurturing sites. In 2011 we moved from the top of the hill to the more sheltered side, avoiding some of the more exciting playfulness of the weather gods. Camp 2012 venue is yet to be confirmed.
