We have several workshops for children in the school summer holidays, these are fun and easy and often have an environmental aspect.

In the past we have had:

The R.S.P.B

Butterfly Coservation

Artist led papier mache workshop.

For adults:

Bee keeping

Nature's Products

Purbeck Art Week exhibition                                                  

We acquired the site from Tom Bower in 1993 and have had a policy of continued improvement but trying to maintain the original character of the site. We now have 2 electric vehicle charging points.

We aim to support local products and sell Fairtrade items in the shop.

We also like to support the arts and have three pieces of sculpture by local artists.

There is also a unique map of Purbeck and Tom’s Field that we commissioned from Tony Kerins, Swanage artist

We promote enterprises such as The Burngate Stone Centre and the Museum in Langton Matravers and sponsor Purbeck Film Festival and Purbeck Art Weeks.

Our aim has always been to sit gently in the landscape, respect the magic that drew us, as campers ourselves in the 1970s, to  Tom's Field and adhere to a timeless simplicity. 

• On the terrace outside the shop we try to have container grown herbs and campers are welcome have a sprig or so to enhance a meal.

• A variety of bird feeders around the site are well used.
