Description

If you’re looking for somewhere special to hold your wedding celebration in a beautiful part of the country - a relaxed oasis run by experienced chilled-out people. Then you might have just found what you’re looking for... We have three lovely private campsites just over an hour south of London, this is one of them. The Soul Camp spaces are not public, we don’t make them available all the time, or for everyone. At The Soul Camp we do things differently. We only host just a few wedding parties a year and it’s your wedding party for the entire weekend... We’re not into formal weddings, we love to host festival vibe gatherings, where people want to camp out for the weekend (there are also many local B&Bs) in a truly stunning country setting, have a lovely barbeque, chillout by the fire pit all night and dance until dawn. Please note, our accommodation is via glamping tents not bedrooms). The Soul House venue is a lovely Grade II listed country house, uniquely - with it's original 1919 art deco interior, it has a lovely ‘faded glory’ feel to it. In addition to glamping on the grounds, the entire ground floor of the house can be available, including the Entrance Lobby (great for a bar), the Dining Room (great for a buffet with french doors opening onto the east lawn), the Drawing Room (great for a music room or chillout space), the guest kitchen (great for teas coffees) and the Ballroom (great for music until dawn!). We operate ethically and as environmentally responsibly as we can so our picnic furniture and benches around the fire pit are made from reclaimed wood and pallets, and we use local services and suppliers. We undertake wildlife and plant species surveys and have deep respect for the land and wildlife. It’s a rare thing to find such beautiful, yet relaxed and flexible spaces with an easy-going attitude. We know because we couldn’t find any ourselves - it’s why we started The Soul Camp. Big Love, Pete and The Soul Camp team :) x

Message from the team

Name of Wedding Contact: Fiona
I started The Soul Camp because I couldn't find a campsite where I could chillout with friends without being treated like a naughty teenager! All of The Soul Camp venues are a mix of campsite and festival culture. Your wedding celebration is of ultimate importance to you, we know that, we don't kick you out at 11pm, you can sit around the firepit all night, we have smiling faces and are passionate about helping you create your perfect day. Big Love, Pete and The Soul Camp team :) xx
