Sanctuary Campfest will be suitable for all ages, and canine companions will also be welcome at the sanctuary. All proceeds will go to The Retreat Animal Rescue and other vegan initiatives. While you are at the festival please go and visit the thrift shop, Jennings's Plantry and the Be Kind Cafe, to further support the amazing work Billy and the team do at The Retreat Animal Rescue. You can even go and say hello to some of the residents they've rescued as you walk round the sanctuary. Please note: This is a fully vegan event You can purchase meals from vegan food vendors at the festival, or go and visit the Be Kind Café There will be a ‘no stove’ policy due to the dry conditions Smoking is permitted - please use the designated area, again due to the conditions While we are doing our best to make the event as accessible as possible, it is being held in a field that is usually home to animals, so it's likely to be uneven There will be a shuttle service from Ashford International for those arriving by train, please book your ticket. If you are driving, please join the WhatsApp group in the community (link below) if you can offer someone else a lift (or would like one) There is very little in the way of shade, so please come prepared with sun protection like wide-brimmed hats or sunscreen JOIN US AT SANCTUARY CAMPFEST: Visit the Sanctuary Campfest website at https://veganorganic.net/campfest Book your tickets at https://www.zeffy.com/.../tic.../plants-and-pints-fest--2026 Join the WhatsApp community herehttps://chat.whatsapp.com/KdCg7AZuM0rDTyfXIVFQBb Regular updates will be posted from now on, but if you have any questions please just message us over Facebook Messenger at Plants and Pints at the Riverside Inn, or by email at plantsandpintsriversideinn@gmail.com See you at the festival!
