What will we be up to we hear you cry?

Reminders will be sent closer to the time regarding what to bring but we will be sleeping on the floor (see picture) so sleeping bag, camping mat and a pillow are a must. Toothpaste is optional (in our opinion – other adults may disagree) there are toilets and sinks (but no showers)!
There is also a lovely garden for football and other outdoor games.
