You may recognise Candleston Woods for being the home of Street Food Circus' Forest Feastival and now you can take a trip back there to enjoy a luxury campsite. At the campsite, called This Must Be The Place, visitors can enjoy a two-hour forest sauna, dawn sea swims, communal campfires, yoga, meditation and mindful walks.
This Must Be The Place will pop up for three weeks this summer and guests will have the choice of 20 luxury bell tents and 14 campervan pitches at the site in Merthyr Mawr. The experience will focus on allowing people to disconnect from their devices and ‘rewild themselves’ in the forest, among the nearby dunes and on the beach.
A bar and restaurant will run from the woodland clubhouse, hosting Char, a wood-fired pizza kitchen. Guest chefs will also pop up throughout the three weeks, including recent Great British Menu competitor Simmie Vedi on Saturday, July 29 and Professional Bake Off winner Minto’s Patisserie on Saturday, July 22 who will be serving afternoon tea. The restaurant and chef pop-ups will be available to book for non-residents. You can keep up to date with the latest What's On news by signing up to the newsletter here.
The campsite will run from Friday, July 14 to Sunday, July 30 and you can book your stay here. Prices (based on two people sharing) are £149 per night for a furnished bell tent with breakfast included, £99 per night for an unfurnished bell tent without breakfast and £49 for camper pitches.
This Must Be The Place is a collaboration between the Merthyr Mawr Estate and Gabrielle Kelly of Far.a.field retreats and Street Food Circus, which also runs the Forest Feastival food festival at Candleston Woods.
