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!

2026 is our 10 year anniversary so it’ll be our wildest one yet!

In 2026, 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!

Camp VC is an event for women (including trans women) and non-binary people looking for the opportunity to explore adventure sports and more, where they wouldn't otherwise find opportunity to do so in this traditionally men’s/masculine dominated space.

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

We occasionally get asked if guys can come to Camp VC - after all, there really is no place like our festival. 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 hey@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.

Saturday 4th July, 10am → Bookings open for Paid Activities

Saturday 11th July, 10am → Bookings open for Included Activities

The exact details of how to book activities and how spaces will be allocated will be shared at least 2 weeks before bookings open.

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.

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 2025 event to get a flavour of what’s coming up.

For 2026, 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.

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 a ‘motorbike festival’ only, 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, and for our 10-year anniversary in 2026 we’ll be celebrating them more than ever - with spot prizes for best bikes, longest journeys, and more. 

Our Moto Schools will also be back, 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 4m.

• 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 exact details of how to book activities and how spaces will be allocated will be provided at least one week before bookings open.

Saturday 4th July, 10am → Bookings open for Paid Activities

Saturday 11th 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-£90. 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.

Event tickets, glamping tents, camper passes, and parking passes are non-refundable after purchase. That’s why we offer optional Ticket Protection at checkout.

Please don’t contact us sharing personal details on why you can’t attend or ask us to make exceptions: we have to apply this policy consistently, otherwise we’d be making case-by-case judgments, which wouldn’t be fair or sustainable. 

Tickets can be transferred into another person’s name up until 5:00pm on Tuesday 30 June 2026. After this deadline, all transfer requests will automatically be declined and may not receive a response.

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. 

You must notify us if you want to sell or give away your Event Ticket or change the Lead Hirer of the Glamping Tent so we can update the name. Do not pass on tickets or transfer hire of Glamping Tents without notifying us—or after the deadline—as mismatched names will be refused entry. 

The Lead Hirer of a Glamping Tent is also liable for any damage: this is another reason you should never pass on a Glamping Tent without notifying us! 

Tickets may only be sold for up to face value, and we can’t be held liable for any losses (for example, if we complete a name change but the buyer doesn’t pay the original holder).

To request a name change, email hey@campvc.co.uk with the subject line ‘Name Transfer’.

Requests received after 5:00pm on Tuesday 30 June 2026 will automatically be declined and may not receive a response.

Remember that tickets acquired for free (e.g. Personal Assistant Passes or competition wins) can never be sold.

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).

iI 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).

This year, 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 wristnand 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 300m) 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 (hey@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. These items can be arranged at an additional charge, with the cost dependent on the configuration (e.g. doubles versus singles) and the number required per tent. To arrange, please contact hey@campvc.co.uk with your request.

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.

This year, 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 5–7 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.

Accessible parking and camping available. Email hey@campvc.co.uk if required.

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 2026, 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.
