ENTERTAINMENT AT WOWO
SPOILT FOR CHOICE WITH ENTERTAINMENT AT WOWO
Wowo is no ordinary campsite. In the early days of opening in 2006, the campsite held social events at it’s core and strived to bring our campers together in various ways. Saturday night community soup, musicians camping for free in exchange for playing for our campers and running workshops such as bushcraft and foraging. Being one of the founding campsites in the South East we feel we trail blazed this industry and we continue to put energy into making your stay worth every penny while you’re here.
We want you to make lasting friendships with other like minded folks while you’re here, we want your children to enjoy the open fields, woodlands and streams safely but with an adventurous spirit. We want to hear you sing, see you dance and hear about your lasting memories you make with us.
We’d LOVE to hear your reviews about our entertainment and the fun you had at Wowo.
The entertainment has changed from the early days and we now offer free scheduled music and entertainment for our campers every Saturday night as well as mid-week during May half term and summer school holidays.
You can view all of the workshops, food vans, music and entertainment on our calendar.
