10 years ago we ignored the advice of a solicitor and bought a field.
No farming experience. No grand plan.
Since then we’ve had council battles and had a few sceptics to win over; we’ve seen the Commonwealth Games make us part of a venue, done plenty of clueless farming and somehow built one of the UK’s most popular pop-up campsites.
Through our site thousands of new visitors have discovered Rugeley, spending money in local pubs, shops, attractions and businesses along the way.
Mostly though, it’s been one big family adventure, powered by an awesome team and some brilliant people.
As we close the gates on our 10th summer, we want to say thank you to everyone who has stayed with us, worked with us, supported us, recommended us and been part of the story.
10 years in.
Still learning. Still growing. Still glad we bought a field.
