Campfire Club audiences say:

“Getting to hear live music after so long was deeply emotional and the feeling of collective spirit (especially now) was really powerful.”

“The sun setting over the garden and Thames and the amazing overall relaxed (yet ‘safe’) ambience of the event. Very moving to finally be at a live gig.”

“The beautiful venue, the beautiful music, the beautiful weather! Thank you so much.”

“This was my first live music event since the beginning of the year and, although the acts were brilliant, I think what will stay with me is the joy of being with people and enjoying the moment together. I feel very grateful to you all for putting on the event.”

“Walking into a wonderland of nature with beautiful music and people, it made me feel wonderfully elated.”

“The atmosphere was incredible, I knew I would love the music but I loved the atmosphere just as much.”
