With a bit of forward planning, it’s relatively easy to use public transport to get to and from The Secret Campsite. It may take a bit longer but it’s great for the environment and the hedgehogs prefer it. Just be prepared for some longer timetable gaps. We all cheered when a Sunday train service was […]

It’s very different from its raucous sibling Brighton, further up the coast. From the seafront you can access a wonderful clifftop walk to Seaford Head. This takes you up high, […]
We are so gutted to have to cancel the 2020 Festival. Unfortunately for obvious reasons it can’t take place. But we will definitely run it in 2021. In the interim, we have been welcoming new wildlife here to the campsite. Clearing out an old poly tunnel to make way for a new wildlife area, we […]

This could be due to our forced […]
