Mendip Mini Fests

Family-friendly mini festivals taking place all summer.

This summer, Mendip Basecamp introduces brand-new Mendip Mini Fests - relaxed, family-friendly festival weekends included for all campers at no extra charge. Taking place throughout the summer holidays, these mini festivals are set within Mendip Basecamp, an award-winning family adventure campsite in the Mendip Hills.

Enjoy flexible off-grid camping, campfires, woodland adventures - even dogs are welcome. The onsite Mendip Activity Centre offers 20+ bookable outdoor activities, from Climbing and Archery to Skiing and Paddleboarding.

By night, the Mendip Mini Fest Bandwagon stage comes alive. It’s festival energy, made for families! Each weekend brings together live music, open-mic performers, headline bands, storytelling, circus skills, creative workshops and Sunday morning yoga - all without big-ticket prices, wristbands or overwhelming crowds.
