This annual charity weekend combines outdoor adventure with family fun, offering camping under the stars or cabin stays. All funds raised from Friday night campsite bookings and gold coin donations go to local charities.

Families kicked off the weekend with Halloween-themed fun, including a monster pancake breakfast, eerie outdoor disco, scary sausage sizzle, witches brew slushies, spooky sand art, freaky biscuit decorating, crazy hair braiding, and, of course, Trick or Treating, plus loads of other activities!
