✨We're delighted to announce our charities for Core Element 2026!

🦊 Our local charity is Mansfield Wildlife Rescue, an incredible rescue and rehabilitation centre for wildlife of all sorts! Their work is truly inspiring and a cause we feel very passionate about.

🏳️‍🌈 Another cause we are passionate about is Mind Out, our national charity. They work hard to support the mental health and wellbeing of the LGBTQ+ community here in the UK.

We will be accepting donations for both charities at our Bar!

She'll be fine, she's got plenty of... stuffing she can eat. She's gonna need some vitamins though.

🌻 Sharraz is right though, spring has sprung! And what glorious weather its brung! 🌷
That means there is plenty going on behind the scenes. A lot of creative production and some really ambitious prop making, we're full of beans! We want to show you all so badly. At the event though, we reveal it all gladly. >:) Our creative team have come up with some really impressive ideas. They've been sawing, drawing, chopping, weaving, painting and so much more... cheers! Proper elbow grease work, just how we like it! We'll be sure to sneak you a few peaks as we progress, but right now, I need to wrap up this rhyming bit .🎨

⛺️Little update on the bell tents, we currently have 7 left!⛺️

We're having a creation day! The creative team are beavering away... Quite literally... On some props and decor. We've enlisted a reputable stick professional to assist today, he is doing very well!

Wishing the best for our friends over at Confuzzled this weekend! 🦊🍸🦁🎨🐸🍻🐻 May operations be smooth, parties be merry and laughs a plenty!

If you aren't attending, then we hope you have a wonderful bank holiday weekend, whatever you get up to :) ❤️

Here at the site today taking measurements. 📐🖌 The forest is finally in full force and we thought you would love to see some photos! Such a wonderful variety of trees and plants here 💚

Our Belltents have once again been a very popular choice this year and are SOLD OUT!

But remember tents are not the only option!
Attendees are welcome to bring camping vehicles too! Campers, vans and caravans are welcome but must go into one of our pitches to pitch up in the camp site.

Camping not for you but you still wanna come? It's so easy to do that with our new location! We are a tiny 10-15min drive from Derby City Central. That means hotels / B&Bs are a short drive away. Taxis are also very reasonable, coming in at £8 - 15 per journey. Not bad, not bad at all!
