Almost every Shikar tent for next June is already booked.

The countdown is on until our world opens again. Light dancing through hand sewn mirrors, a king size bed made up with fresh linen, a hot shower waiting and dinner by the fire, with music still carrying across the fields long after dark.

Our waitlist for 2028 is now open. Head to the link in bio to sign up.

Until then, stay extraordinary.

Whatever you’re marking, a milestone, a wedding or simply a reason to get everyone in the same room, we build the whole world around it, from the first idea to the moment the last guest leaves.

It’s the same house-party energy we’ve spent two decades bringing to the world’s biggest gatherings, just turned toward yours and because this is a family running it we know what it takes to make people feel at home when the stakes are high.

Nothing is too much trouble.

If you’ve got a world of your own you want us to craft, get in touch via the link in bio.

MEET Roger, one of the practitioners behind SHIFT.

Roger has spent thirty years across personal training, coaching and sports psychology, work that gradually evolved into something else: hands-on therapy and the connection between mind, body and energy. He works somatically, helping people release trauma held in the body and turning old, repeated patterns into something they can finally work with, rather than just react to.

What he notices most is how simple the answer usually is. People turn challenges into mountains when the solution is often right under their nose, breath being the clearest example.

He calls SHIFT a sharing experience rather than work, co-created rather than delivered and says he learns as much from the guests as they learn from him.

Presence, for Roger has no single technique. Meditation in its many forms, tai chi, qigong, breathwork, the relationships that remind him who he is, time outdoors and staying in his body rather than living entirely in his head.

MEET Ian, Maestro de Cuisine.

Ian has spent over thirty five years in the industry, running restaurants, pubs, clubs and events across the world before food and drink became his craft in the broadest sense. These days he oversees every plate that leaves a Camp Kerala kitchen, working from one theory: look after people’s appetite and the rest of the evening takes care of itself.

He has been with Camp Kerala almost from the beginning, long enough that colleagues stopped feeling like colleagues and started feeling like family. What he notices most are not the big moments but the ones in between: the music, the chat, everyone looking out for each other. He reckons care finds its way onto the plate whether you plan it to or not.

Benham Park has been hosting grand gatherings since the eighteenth century. It just hadn’t hosted one quite like this.

Newly restored, Grade II listed and set within lakes and gardens in the Berkshire countryside, it’s the venue for SHIFT III this November: three nights, ten en-suite rooms and the same standard of care you already know from the Festival.

Same team, same attention to detail, just swapping the euphoria of the party for stillness and presence.

SHIFT III runs Thursday 5th to Sunday 8th November. Enquire via the link in bio.

It all started with one woman, a field in Somerset and a few friends who stayed the week and never wanted to leave.

What happened next led Jen to quit her career as a formidable criminal barrister and come home from Rajasthan with thirty Shikar tents.

Twenty years on, her children run it alongside her and sixty percent of guests come back year after year to spend time in unrivaled luxury with their extended family.

What began in one field now sits among the world’s most iconic events and it still feels like we are only just getting started.

This is what one guest shared after the last SHIFT, our weekend wellness immersion that blends ancient practices with modern science to create an immersive journey of connection, vitality and renewal.

With less than 2 months until we SHIFT again, enquire via the link in our bio if this transformative experience feels right for you.

Pietro has worked in hospitality for over two decades and his craft is creating memorable guest experiences through genuine service, real attention to detail and cocktails that bring people together.

The detail he notices that most people miss is a bartender’s awareness. He says a great bartender reads the room and notices everything, greeting each guest with a genuine smile before they’ve even reached the bar.

He found Camp Kerala by chance, picking up event work alongside running a bar in Shoreditch and fell for the people, the culture and the operation itself almost immediately. What keeps him coming back is that it still feels like a family, rather than a job.

For Pietro, the extraordinary comes down to curiosity: about people, places, ideas and experiences, staying curious enough that it naturally becomes part of everyday life.

Bert was the one who looked at what the Family has built in a single field in Somerset and thought it deserved to reach more people. Private celebrations, corporate gatherings with soul and wellness immersions followed, each one chasing the same thing: creating euphoric memories.

In this one, he describes the Camp Kerala magic himself: the family feel that’s never left, an eye for how a space should be experienced, plus that trick of holding a room at full energy one minute and complete stillness the next.

Nothing is too much trouble. If you’ve got a vision for an awe-inspiring event, get in touch via the link in our bio.

No two corporate gatherings we’ve taken on have ended up looking anything alike, which is exactly right.

Swipe through a handful of the world’s we’ve created so far. There’s no reason to assume yours should look like any of them.
