Hallett's Rural Campsite

13/10/2026

We had the pleasure of hosting the Brownies for their winter campfire, and what a lovely evening it was!

Despite the wet weather, everyone wrapped up warm, gathered around the fire and enjoyed a well-deserved toasted marshmallow (or two! 😋).

It was lovely to welcome everyone to the farm and to host such a special evening.

We’ve finally got round to finishing a little video from Hallett’s Fest, so we thought we’d share it with you all!

Good evening, human… 👀

Excuse me, but where are my evening treats? I’ve been waiting patiently… well, mostly patiently

Wh**ky and the gang enjoying their evening treats!

Wh**ky is getting more friendly by the day and is certainly becoming a little character!

We absolutely love seeing all the local faces popping by to say hello to them. It’s lovely seeing how much the animals have become part of the local community.

Thanks to everyone who stops by to see Wh**ky and the gang they definitely appreciate the attention! 😂

A FEW PHOTOS FROM THE DAY!

Here are just some of the photos from an amazing day at Hallett’s Fest!

We’d absolutely love to see any photos you took too, so please feel free to drop them in the comments below. 📷👇

It would be brilliant to see the day through everyone else’s eyes and capture all those special moments we might have missed!

WOW....

HALLETT’S FEST – A MASSIVE THANK YOU!

Now that we’ve recovered from yesterday (sort of! 😂), we just wanted to say a massive THANK YOU to everyone who came out and supported the very first Hallett’s Fest.

A huge thank you to The Pulpits Band and Destination Unknown for providing the amazing live music, and to Twirl Academy - Baton Twirling & Pom Pom Troupe and Nothe Fort Garrison The Dorsetshire Regiment for the fantastic displays you put on.

Whether you had a stall, volunteered, performed, or simply came along to have a look around, enjoy the music and soak up the atmosphere, thank you! You all came together and helped make it such an amazing day.

A massive thank you also goes to the guys at Perry Fields for the use of their lorry, it was a huge help!

We’d also like to say a big thank you to all the gentlemen who brought along their tractors and vintage cars. It was fantastic having them as part of the day and added something really special to the event.

And a huge thank you to Jack Jones for supplying the portaloos and helping us make sure we had the facilities in place for everyone.

🎟️ RAFFLE WINNERS – STILL TO BE CLAIMED!

We still have a few raffle prizes that haven’t been claimed.

If you entered the raffle and your name is below, please get in touch with us and provide your ticket number:

• Claire Hamilton
• Stuart
• Debbie L
• Laura Paulton

Yesterday showed us that all the time, hard work and effort that went into organising the day was completely worth it.

Most importantly, you reminded us that Portland still knows how to come together, support one another and celebrate its amazing community.

We’d also love to hear your feedback! If you came along yesterday, please let us know what you thought, the good, the bad and anything you think we could improve if we did it again.

From all of us at The Halletts, thank you for making the first Hallett’s Fest so special.
