Radical Bakers Harvest Camp 2025

Thursday 11th September until Sunday 14th September 2025, Crabapple Community, Shrewsbury, Shropshire

Our end-of-summer solar-powered celebration of the Harvest! 4 days of friendly camping in a lovely spot, a big fire in the evenings, great bands on the Green Dragon Stage along with focused workshops sharing knowledge and skills for a more sustainable life. We held our first Harvest Camp in 2019 and we pride ourselves on looking after and including everyone. Adult weekend tickets from Thursday Midday until Monday 2pm are £75 and Campervans are £5! There are no hidden costs and all the workshops are included. Connect with a like-minded community of people, tickets are available only from the bottom of this page.

Our Real Ale and Cider bar is the Baker’s Arms. We offer fully catered tickets, providing hearty vege/vegan meals throughout the weekend. Everyone is welcome to cook whatever they like on gas in their camp. The campsite has working composting toilets, fresh drinking water and one hot shower. We have a large central fire and a drying rack by the wood-fired pizza oven if it is wet. The entire event is powered by the Green Dragon Solar Generator and we recycle everything we can. We have lots of space for tents and campervans and a beautiful setting at Berrington Hall.

Practical skills for more sustainable living

Harvest Camp is smaller and wilder than our Summer Gathering but there are still lots of activities and great bands each evening. Harvest Camp workshops focus on self-reliance and resilience. Workshop streams include Green Technology, Textiles and Crafts and Nature, Self Care and Community. The Radical Bakers Workshops Archive offers a glimpse into past workshops with photos and links.

Live Music

Lots more music to be announced before September! We are proud to host the Green Dragon Solar Stage with live entertainment from 8pm Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Our stage uses quality modern equipment, is operated by experienced sound technicians and is powered from the Sun. Take a look at past bands in our Music Archives.

• 22:00 – The Refreshers – “We are a 5 piece band playing new wave, post punk and ska music from the 80s and our aim is all about getting people bouncing and having fun. We are high energy and up tempo, playing music from bands like The Specials, The Cramps, B52’S, Blondie, Buzcocks, Joy Division.” Check them out on FB facebook.com/TheRefreshersBand or listen to ‘The Refreshers’, a playlist by Alex Lloyd on SoundCloud on.soundcloud.com/1XwjV

We have our Camp Market each lunchtime, where everyone is welcome to sell their hand-made or second-hand items. We will be baking all the bread for the Baker’s Arms Café on-site and you can get involved in the baking sessions. There is always lots to do along with a line-up of quality bands. Take a look at the sort of things we have in our Workshop Archives.
