Torchlight Festival

Walesby Forest, Nottinghamshire

The Camping and Caravanning Club has unveiled the relaunch of its ‘Torchlight Festival of Camping‘. The member-only festival features entertainment and live music from high-profile acts such as Squeeze, Gabrielle and Sophie Ellis-Bextor.

The NFOL was created as the Club’s end of summer camping event, where members from across the country could meet up and camp together.

Participants peaked at 16,000 people at Stoneleigh in 1976, though with visitor numbers having dropped in recent years, the decision to keep the ‘torch lit’ meant it needed a new look.

Club Director General Sabina Voysey said: “Now, 100 years on since the first NFOL, it is time for a new generation to carry the torch and for the Club to take the opportunity to reinvigorate a special festival, breathing new life into its line up and inspiring new followers to make memories of their own.
