Charlie Gladstone, Good Life Society founder, said: “Summer Camp is something I’ve often dreamt of creating; a small, friendly, comfortable retreat based on the fabled camps of America but for all ages and with better food."

The intimate event offers both three-day weekend camping tickets as well as evening tickets which include a three-course meal cooked by a guest chef. 

Mr Gladstone said: "This is the place of your dreams."
