woodland gatherings
Woodland Gatherings at Meon Springs are all about bringing your friends, family, club or work colleagues for a day, night or weekend and enjoy making fire, exploring nature, developing bushcraft skills and even a spot of fishing and shooting.

Whatever your reason and whatever you do, it's time around the campfire, chatting with friends, relaxing in a natural environment and an experience you'll remember for a long time. To avoid driving home, you can spend the night at our Yurt Village, Shepherd's Huts or on site, with your own tents or in our comfortable Bell Tents, with clean sheets and warm duvets. Please note, this is not an opportunity for a wild party or a rave. You will very much need to respect your environment in terms of noise, rubbish and general behaviour. |
