Socialist Summer Camp 2026 (28-31 August, Haslemere)

A picture from last year's summer camp – tents under a blue sky.

A weekend of fires, partying, nature, good food and socialist education. The camp will be fully outdoors, sleeping in tents. We will have access to hot water, proper showers in a well-lit modern shower block, and proper toilets.

Scroll down to the bottom of this page to purchase a ticket. Early Bird tickets are £52, £28 and £21. Solidarity tickets £100.

Sessions: We will have a range of political discussions and workshops, including: What's the deal with Eels? • Socialist Feminist Reading Group • A history of British Trotskyism • Anti-cuts and Anti-Fees in higher education • Class struggle in a heating world • Fighting the far right • A century of betrayal: the crimes of the trade union bureaucracy • Is Labour finished? • Organising at work

The site and activities: we will be camping in a large field set amid woodland with a modern shower block, a large fire pit, friendly horses in the next field, and wild swimming spots nearby. We will be enjoying good food — included in the ticket prices — with vegetarian and vegan options and accommodation for any special dietary requirements on request, and running a bar in the evening.

Activities during the camp include: wild swimming • hikes in the surrounding hills and woods • trips to local sights, including the nearby stately home • football, frisbee & rounders • board games • campfire singing • a socialist pub quiz • lots more

Families: We run structured activities for children of all ages and do what we can to make the camp family-friendly. Reviews from younger participants are always good. If you want more information about activities for children or what the camp is like for families, get in touch.
