Camp VC is an epic adventure festival for women and non binary folk, with hundreds of activities in the incredible Welsh hills.

Our event has it all: from moto riding schools and skateboarding to creative workshops, confidence-building sessions, wellness experiences, live panel talks, and more - and of course, one hell of a party!

In 2027, Camp VC will return to One Giant Leap in the beautiful Welsh Hills of Llangollen, North Wales. 

‘One Giant Leap’ is part of the family-owned Tan-y-Graig working farm, dedicated to hosting world-class mountain bike events. One Giant Leap became Camp VC’s home in 2022.

When you hit Llangollen, you must follow Camp VC's directional signage, as a road closure and one-way system will be in place.

You will be directed to stay on the A5 and approach the event site via Bache Mille Road.

Please be respectful of our neighbours by carefully following all signage.

Do not enter or turn around in private driveways, including Tyn Dwr Hall. We've had complaints in the past and doing this puts our event licence at risk!

From day one, Camp VC has been about creating a space where women can leave the event feeling like nothing is impossible. Riding a motorcycle will do that to you!

Our community has grown to include women, including trans women, and non-binary people. 

Camp VC exists to create the freedom and safety to explore a whole world of adventure, sport and beyond - an alternative to predominantly men and masc-dominated spaces where women and NBi people can sometimes feel less comfortable, less represented or less able to fully be themselves. 

As a result, the majority of NBi folk at Camp VC to date have been femme/women aligned or AFAB and have she/her, she/them, they/ them pronouns, or similar. 

Our number one guideline is ‘if you’ve read the above and feel that Camp VC is for you, then Camp VC is for you!’. 

Kindness, respect and support for each-other are non-negotiable, and we welcome women and NBi people of all ages, races and ethnicities, sexualities and abilities. 

Our terms and conditions make it clear that anyone who behaves otherwise will be asked to leave the event. 

We occasionally get asked if guys can come to Camp VC - after all, there really is no place like it! Our community is focused on women and NBi folk who don’t have access to adventure in the way men do. That said, we’re happy to share recommendations for other incredible events, communities, and instructors. Drop us a line at access@campvc.co.uk for ideas.

Camp VC is an 18+ event.

Whilst the majority of our staff, crew, vendors, and instructors will be women (including trans women) and non-binary people, there will also be some men (including trans men) on site working to help make the event possible. Please be aware of this when purchasing a ticket.

We occasionally get asked if guys can buy tickets to come to Camp VC - after all, there really is no place like it! Our community is focused on women and NBi folk who don’t have access to adventure in the way men do.

HELL YES! We have plenty of attendees who come alone every year and have the best time. They might come alone but they definitely leave with a ton of new pals. We always kick off Friday evening with a solo traveller meet up and there’s heaps of activities ideal for solo attendees. Check out our Come Solo page for more inspo!

We’ll be running a packed schedule of drop-in, and bookable activities throughout the weekend, along with plenty of entertainment, including live music, karaoke, disco bingo and more. 

Expect a mix of formats - talks, screenings, workshops, and “have-a-go” sessions - covering everything from craft and wellness to skate, adventure, sport, and fitness. Activities are designed for all levels, from complete beginners to advanced. 

The exact schedule and entertainment line-up will be confirmed a few weeks before the event. 

In the meantime, check out the What’s On page for a rundown of the 2026 event to get a flavour of what’s coming up.

For 2027, there will be more drop-in activities, daytime performances, and entertainment than ever before. 

Remember: you’re buying a ticket for the event as a whole and spaces can’t be guaranteed in any individual activity.

Yes, and no! Camp VC started with a few friends on motorbikes who wanted to find other women to ride with. This led to us getting together a load of mates in a sketchy East London carpark and giving them basic riding lessons.

Next thing we knew, a few friends in a car park became 150 women rolling out of London to the Welsh Hills for a weekend of camping. That ride-out weekend in 2016 evolved into Camp VC: an epic weekend of adventure to try almost any activity imaginable. 

We’re no longer just a ‘motorbike festival’, but what makes Camp VC truly special has never changed: it’s a space where women and non-binary folks can experience ultimate freedom and safety (and one hell of a party!), and leave feeling like nothing is impossible. 

Motos remain a big part of our heritage.

Our Moto Schools will also be back for 2027, with classes for everyone from first-timers to pros honing their wheelie skills.

The below items aren’t allowed on site and we will have bag checks in place. 

• Illegal drugs or substances.

• BBQs, camping stoves, open fires, or any cooking apparatus (except those installed directly inside camper vans).

• Non–road-registered motorcycles. All vehicles must comply with the laws of the road, including valid insurance. 

• Alcohol brought in from outside. Only alcohol purchased from Camp VC’s bar or approved vendors may be consumed on site.

• Pets, with the exception of pre-authorised assistance dogs. 

• Any goods or items intended for sale without prior written consent.

• Gazebos, easy-ups, or camper van awnings.

• Tents larger than a six-person tent (6m X 5m)

• Camper Vans larger than 6.5m X 3m.

• Fire lanterns, fireworks, smoke bombs, or fire pois.

Alcohol brought from outside will be confiscated and will not be returned.

Other prohibited but legal items (e.g. camping stoves) will be confiscated and securely stored for collection at the end of the event.

Illegal substances will be reported to the police.

You could choose to stay offsite in an air bnb or hotel in the local town of LLangollen (approx 10 minute drive). 

Or you could check out one of our Glamping Tents!

The name on your ticket needs to match the name on your ID and this will be checked at the event.

If your name has changed (e.g.: due to marriage or divorce) we can update your ticket for you free of charge, and you don’t need to go through TicketSwap.

Email hey@campvc.co.uk

The deadline for legal name corrections is 5pm on Friday 16 July 2027, one week before the Event.

Yes, of course! We work hard each year to make Camp VC as accessible as possible.

For more information on the site layout and the provisions we have in place, and to help you decide if the festival is right for you, please see our Accessibility Policy here.

You can select an Accessible Event Ticket at checkout, which includes a space in our accessible campsite if you need it. Accessible parking and campervan spaces can also be selected at checkout.

If you require a PA in order to attend the festival, this requires pre-approval and these tickets cannot be purchased through self-selection at checkout. Don’t worry though, we’ll hold your ticket at the price it was at when you applied.

Click here to learn more and apply to bring a PA.

The exact details of how to book activities and how spaces will be allocated will be provided at least five days before bookings open.

Saturday 3rd July, 10am → Bookings open for Paid Activities

Saturday 10th July, 10am → Bookings open for Included Activities

You will need to download the Camp VC app - look out for the email.

Most activities are included in your ticket, but a few services and activities cost extra on top of your standard event ticket and range from £10-£130. But with hundreds of activities to choose from - plus live performances, demos, and evening entertainment - you can have the best weekend of your summer without spending on extra activities.

Moto Lessons, Canoeing and White Water Rafting are examples of ‘Paid’ Activities.

Check out ‘What’s included in a Camp VC ticket?’ for more information.

We’ve seen plenty of bumps at Camp VC over the years! Wherever possible, we let you call the shots on what you take part in.

Whether an activity works for you depends on your stage of pregnancy, your health and experience, and the Activity Leader's qualifications and insurance. So rather than labelling things as "suitable during pregnancy" (as that means different things, to different people!), we'll share any guidance we've got on the schedule. That might be a no-go, such as an insurer not covering pregnant participants in certain activities (like quad skate), or a "pregnancy friendly, at your own discretion." If there's no guidance yet, it just means we can't say for sure, often because the instructor hasn't been confirmed at the point that bookings open.

We suggest booking into physical activities with pregnancy guidance, and/ or other sessions like talks and crafts. You can still have a go at other physical activities as a Walk-In at the event once you've had a chat with the Activity Leader.

Before you arrive, check in with your midwife or doctor. On site, let the Activity Leader know privately before each physical activity. Their call on whether you can join is final. If it's a no, there'll be a genuine reason, like an instructor change or insurance terms. If it's a yes, the rest is up to you. You know your body and what your midwife or doctor has told you best.

We don’t offer refunds and you can’t defer your ticket to a future year, that’s why we always suggest taking ticket protection insurance at checkout, or sourcing your own.

You can sell/ transfer your ticket until 5pm on Friday 18th June via our approved ticket partner TicketSwap.

The name on each Event Ticket must match the attendee’s photo ID shown at entry. 

The name on the Glamping Tent Ticket must be that of the Lead Hirer, and must match the photo ID shown at entry. 

Event Tickets, Parking Passes, Camper Van Passes (including accessible versions), Glamping (whole tents and individual spaces) may be sold/transferred, up until 5pm on 18 June 2027 via TicketSwap.

The only ticket changes that Camp VC will make directly outside of TicketSwap are:

• Legal name change corrections (e.g.: updating a name on a ticket due to marriage or divorce).

• Changing tickets / passes from accessible versions to general event versions so they can be listed for re-sale.

• Updating the details of a PA that is accompanying an attendee on an Accessible + PA event ticket.

Before reselling or transferring an Accessible Event Ticket, Accessible + PA ticket, or Accessible Parking or Camper Van Pass, email access@campvc.co.uk to switch it to the general equivalent. The switch is free. You can then list it on TicketSwap (our approved re-sale partner).

Requests to switch accessible Tickets and Passes to general equivalents must be received by 5pm on Friday 11th June (i.e.: one week prior to the Transfer deadline.)

PA Passes can't be resold. The holder of an Accessible + PA ticket can add or change their PA until 11:59pm on Thursday 22 July 2027.

There are only two ways to legitimatley get your hands on tickets to Camp VC: directly from us, or via our approved re-sale partner TicketSwap (where people who can no longer attend can list their tickets).

Tickets purchased privately or via other means will be invalid: do not risk purchasing them.

The name on your Event Ticket must match that on your photo ID and this will be checked at entry to the event.

We cannot change names on tickets (aside from legal name updates due to the likes of marriage/ divorce). Please do not purchase tickets outside of us/ TicketSwap and contact us to ask for the name to be changed.

Tickets can no longer be purchased via TicketSwap after 5pm on Friday 18th June.

It's around a 10 minute walk between the car park/drop-off point and the camping fields, and a further 3-minute walk (approx.) between the campervan field and the camping fields and the main event site.

Campers will park up in the field next door to the Campsite ( general camping + glamping). This means you won’t be able to pitch a tent next to a camper, or park your car next to your tent.

The showers are in the campervan field (next door to the camping field).

If you’ve got mates in glamping, but you’re bringing your own tent, you’ll be able to pitch up pretty close to them (but those spots are allocated on a first to arrive basis).

Like in 2026, we’re letting you pitch up and settle in before collecting your event wristband (which means you don’t need to carry all your camping gear in the wristband queue - yay!) but we’ll still be checking digital tickets in the car park, camper fields and campsite.

Accessible parking, camper pitches and camping is available. Contact hey@campvc.co.uk for more info.

Heads up - we’re an outdoor event so may need to change the site layout depending on the weather!

Cars can’t be driven into the camping fields and parked next to tents, glamping tents or camper vans. 

We’re a small festival so the distance from the car park to the campsite is short compared to most other events (around 400m) over slightly bump grass fields. 

If you need special assistance moving your stuff please - or any other adjustments - just let us know in advance and we’ll be happy to try help (access@campvc.co.uk)

Motorcycles can be parked up next to glamping tents, camper vans or tents as long as they’re at least 2m away. Please bring your own puck. Note that there is very limited hard ground at the event.

Everyone (campers, glampers and camper vans) gets access to hot showers, festival toilets with sinks (because sanitizer alone just doesn’t cut it!), plenty of fresh water taps and the cleanest festival toilets around.

Maximum comfort, minimal effort. Skip the setup and dodge the FOMO by booking your ready-to-go bell tent!

4m Bell Tents sleep up to 4 people -£462- £57 per person, per night 

6m Bell Tents sleep up to 8 people - £620 - £38 per person, per night 

Tents include memory foam roll mattresses, cushions, rugs, a lamp, small table, mirror and solar fairy lights.

Tents do not include raised camp bed, pillows, or duvets. If you’d like these, you will need to bring them.

The site is accessed via quite narrow single track lanes and the Camper Van pitch is a slightly bumpy, but relatively flat, grassy field. 

Camper Vans must be a maximum of 6.5m X 3m.

You’ll have access to hot showers, portaloos with sinks (because sanitizer alone just doesn’t cut it!), plenty of fresh water taps and the cleanest festival toilets around, but there aren’t any electric hook-ups. 

Due to space restrictions, we can’t allow Camper Van awnings, easy-ups or gazebos. Leave them at home please!

BBQs, camping stoves, open fires, or any cooking apparatus are banned, except those installed directly inside camper vans. 

Please also check out ‘How is the Campsite Laid Out?’

Tents must be no larger than 6m X 5m.

Head straight over to the campsite and make your way towards the glamping tent. A member of our crew will have a list and will show you to your tent - you'll need the name of the person who booked the tent.

This year, you can pitch up and settle in before heading to the main event site to collect your wristband.

Don't forget, glamping tents include a roll mat, but you'll still need to bring your own bedding (such as sleeping bags and pillows). The temperature can reallllyyy drop at night, so make sure you pack plenty of warm layers.

Just like in 2026, we're letting you pitch up and settle into the campervan and camping fields before heading to the main event site to collect your event wristband (meaning you don't have to carry all your stuff while queueing – yay!!).

We will still need to see your digital event tickets on the campervan and campsite fields, though, so make sure you have them handy!

It's around a 400m / 10 minute walk between the car park and the camping fields, and a further 3-minute walk (approx.) between the campervan/camping fields and the main event site.

• Who you're sharing with: You'll share a 4m bell tent with up to 3 other people. Spaces are allocated at random, so we can't take requests to share (or not share) with particular people. We also can't move anyone once spaces are allocated. If you'd rather choose your tentmates, book a whole Glamping Tent instead.

• What's in the tent: A memory foam roll mattress, cushions, rugs, a lamp, a small table, a mirror and solar fairy lights. You'll need to bring your own sleeping bag and pillow, plus warm layers, because nights get chilly!

• Tent rules: No smoking, vaping, cooking equipment or naked flames inside the tent. Please keep it zipped closed when nobody's in it. Assistance dogs can't be accommodated in shared Glamping Spaces.

• Your belongings: You're responsible for your own belongings, so don't leave valuables unattended.

• Damage: Report any missing items or damage when you arrive. Otherwise you may be charged for it.

• Can't make it? You can resell or transfer your space through TicketSwap until 5pm on Friday 18 June 2027.

• Behaviour: If you have concerns about anyone you're sharing with, let our team know. We'll investigate in line with our Community Guidelines and T&Cs.

Sure! We’ve been seeing a few of these pop up recently.

You don’t need to pay for Moto Parking/ Moto Camping, but you do need a pass. At checkout, you’ll be asked to confirm if you’re planning to bring a tent that affixes to your moto. Having this info helps us plan the site layout.

If you have a tent box or equivalent roof top tent, you will need to purchase a Camper Pass and park in the Camper Van area. You are not allowed to sleep in the car park.

Remember though, you can’t bring easy-ups, gazebos, or camping stoves.

We are committed to being an event that is as accessible as possible.

We’re on a journey to being more accessible every year and believe the key to this is understanding your needs and planning ahead where we can. 

Cick here to head to see the accessibility section of our community page where you can download our Access Guidelines.

If you have any queries email access@campvc.co.uk. Or, if you would prefer to speak with someone, please drop us a note simply with your name, availability and a contact number and we will happily give you a call at a time that suits.

If having a Personal Assistant is essential for you to join us, they’ll receive a free pass.

To apply for a free PA pass you need to complete a short google form. Click here to fill in and submit your form.

For more information and to download our Accessibility Guide, please visit our access section on our community page.

If your circumstances change between buying your ticket and attending the event and you need to switch your Event Ticket or Car/Camper Van Pass to an accessible version, you can do this until the night before the event. Just email access@campvc.co.uk.

BBQs, camping stoves, open fires, or any cooking apparatus are banned, except those installed directly inside camper vans. 

In dry summer months there’s a real risk of wild fires and this rule is at the request of the site owner, so please respect it.

You can’t bring cooking equipment (other than what’s built into a camper van), but you’re welcome to bring food for your own consumption. That said, you shouldn’t need to! For 2027, we’ll have a wide range of food vendors catering to different dietary needs and budgets, along with plenty of grab-and-go options to keep you fuelled between activities.

Watch this space as we’ll share more details on the exact line-up closer to the event.

Please don’t bring your own alcohol  on site. Our Premises License depends on it! 

We keep our drinks costs as low as possible. Please protect the future of the event by respecting this rule. We will be running bag checks on site so please leave it at home peeps!
