📍 Eleven Acres Campsite, Downe
Ongoing State of Transformation
You may have seen the recent updates about how much change is happening at our Eleven Acres Campsite. It’s been an exciting year of repairs, refurbishments, and new projects — and now there’s a chance for you to get involved too!
We’re inviting volunteers to join our Open Work Weekend at the start of November. Whether you can spare an hour, a day, or the whole weekend, every bit of help makes a difference.
What We Need Help With
- Cleaning, decorating, or painting
- Digging, building, or general maintenance
- Woodwork and joinery
- Plumbing or wiring
- Or just helping fix and look after things!
Weekend Details
- Work begins from 9 AM each day
- Come for as long as you can — even an hour helps
- We will possibly do a BBQ on Saturday evening for everyone lending a hand
- Free camping for anyone helping both days
📣 Spread the Word
