As soon as you set foot in Celtic Harmony Camp, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped back in time. This cultural heritage education centre is based on an ancient Iron Age ‘village’ of thatched round houses and is surrounded by native woodland. You’ll also find a herb garden, ponds, a café and a Prehistory Centre with its own Palaeolithic Cave, plus a woodland boardwalk and Stone Age encampment to explore around the site.

From themed community and school day trips to residential stays (such as the annual Family Summer Prehistory Adventure, where you can sleep in a roundhouse), kids and adults alike can get hands-on with a huge range of experiences, from pottery making and archery, to den building and drumming, as well as storytelling and cooking over fire. The activities are designed to teach more about how our Stone Age ancestors made food, clothing and shelter from natural resources, as well as looking at what we can learn from them to help us live more sustainably today and protect our natural environment for future generations. Plus, being out in the wild, off-grid and amongst nature does wonders for physical and mental wellbeing.

It’s even won an award for Best Education/Learning Team of the Year in the School Travel Awards 2023. Need we say more?

Coming up (24 – 27 October) is the annual Samhain (Celtic new year) celebration, where families can spend a day at the camp and have a go at pumpkin carving and broomstick making, listen to Celtic storytelling, explore a haunted forest and take part in a fire procession. Book here.

Go on, get back to nature and channel your inner cave woman/man/kid with this unique outdoorsy and educational experience. Just leave the Tarzan togs at home though, Dad, ok?
