Back by popular request! we have two live music weekends this season. The first on 20th June. Camp for the night then watch the sun rise on mid-summer day from one of the neolithic burial mounds on the site.

Hi again.
Just had confirmation that one of my favourite local bands, the Jolly Boys Outing https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100039719815296 , are booked for our mid-summer music weekend. They will be performing on the evening of Saturday 20th June. This should get us in the right mood to celebrate the solstice on the 21st.
Culliford Tree is a epic place to watch the Sun rise. On the historic South Dorset Ridgeway, surrounded by Neolithic monuments, with an uninterrupted view to the east. I Really hope you can join us. Best wishes, Tim

The 'Nellie Takes a Bow' boys have reformed to bring you an eclectic mix of folk, pop and country music...

Very excited to confirm we have Zoe Schwartz https://www.zoeschwarzmusic.com/ and her band booked for Saturday 27th July 2026. We are planning to do one other live music weekend this season, dates tbc. Please keep and eye on the website for details. Booking now available at www.donkeydowncamping.co.uk
