What to expect?
A fully catered week of folk activities based around a marquee. Music, song, dance and crafts. Suitable for all – adults, children, families and singles.
Likely to include lively ceilidh dancing in the evenings, all-inclusive music workshops in the mornings, an opportunity to join the band in the evenings and various other workshops depending on what you and the other campers bring to share.
Some of the comments from previous years with these leaders and musicians:
“The music workshop was paced excellently and everyone stayed from beginning to end. The tunes were beautiful, interesting and unusual.”
“Thank you so much for a wonderful week, it has been very special”
“Great week, Regine was a very calm and chilled leader, which meant we were all relaxed”
“Regine lead this week very well, with plenty of classic Folk Camps activities as well as innovative activities too”
“Huge ratio of young adults to families and some more ‘elderly’(!) but it worked well – in part due to the relaxed leadership style”
“The heatwave resulted in fewer ‘formal’ workshops, but there were some fabulous ‘whole camp moments’ such as the lemon jousting, the surprise ice-cream van and the murder game.”
“Great evening dancing”
“I loved the music mornings led by Jenny and Andy”

Address: Peakhill Farm, Theberton, Leiston, IP16 4TG
Our site for four weeks is Peakhill Farm at Theberton which is north-east of Ipswich. Contrary to its name, our site at is a nice flat field with pleasant surrounding countryside. Three beaches, Southwold, Aldeburgh, and Dunwich, are just a short drive away. Southwold, a charming seaside town and home to Adnams Brewery, is well worth a visit as is Aldeburgh town with its rich cultural identity, multiple galleries and sculptures. Within easy reach are RSPB Minsmere, Leiston Abbey and what remains of the lost city of Dunwich, with its little museum. Travelling a little further, twenty miles inland, the 12th century Framlingham Castle has an intriguing history and a spectacular elevated walkway.
