Join Simon to celebrate Beltaine within an ancient woodland &
Be part of the epic and ancient craft of charcoal burning! πŸ–€

"Building & witnessing the wood magically transform to charcoal really is a unique experience... Tending to this huge, smoking, womb-like clamp under the sunlit, bird-song filled trees feels like being transported back in time."

Immerse yourself in rural crafts, practical tasks, fire, hearth, singing and feasting while camping on a real Iron Age Fort from the native Celtic tribe... + LEAP THE FIRE! πŸ”₯

In West Sussex (near Forest Row)
