Below are a few items you might want to pack:

• Tent (ground sheets, tent poles and pegs to go with your canvas.)
• Air bed or roll mat
• Sleeping bag
• Pillow
• Eye mask and ear plugs
• Lots of blankets
• Warm clothes (although flip flops are great for the showers)
• Towel and toiletries
• Torch
• Battery powered fairy lights for your tent
• Bible
• Notebook
• A chair or picnic blanket to sit on
• Chargers*
• We recommend that you do not bring any valuables with you.

If self-catered camping, remember to also bring:

• Cooking equipment: stove, pans, knives, chopping boards, an ice bag or box etc
• Plate, mug and cutlery
• Everything you need to clean up including washing up bowl, washing up liquid, bin bags & tea towels

There is a freezer available to refreeze ice-packs for cool bags or ice boxes (but not to freeze your food). Look for the signs. There are no fridge facilities on the campsite. There is also no where to safely plug in camping fridges so please don't bring these along.

• Top tip: Bring some battery powered fairy lights and drapes to hang around your tent to give it a cosy feel.

Camping with a meal pass

A meal pass means your meals are provided can simply collect your meals in a takeaway box. All meals will be served from the back of Quinta Hall. You can buy your meal pass when making your Forum booking.

Here are a few useful things to pack:

• Sleeping bag or single bed linen (duvet cover, sheet)
• Pillowcase
• Towel & toiletries
• Blanket
• Bible
• Notebook
• Warm clothes
• Torch
• Chargers*

Indoor spaces are in single-sex dorms. If you have access needs and have an accommodation request you must note this on your booking form or get in touch with us directly.

Self-catered indoors

We recommend you only do this option if you have friends or other members of your CU camping and choosing to self-cater. Work with other CU members who are camping and sort out a list of cooking equipment.

Forum does not have a cash machine on-site but there is a cash machine inside the Weston Rhyn village store. All facilities on site take card and contactless.

We’ll provide showers, toilets, washing-up sinks and fresh water taps at various places. Each regional village will have space to gather, so bring your deck chair. Often CUs plan together to share tents, camping supplies, and catering.

Top tip: bring your own reusable water bottle to fill up at taps across site to save buying bottles of water and reduce waste.

Don’t own a tent? You can hire tents, cooking equipment and more from ‘Farmer John’ – delivered straight to Forum.

Check Farmer John's website for information about availability and rates. To order, we recommend booking by phone or post: ‘Farmer John’ doesn’t really do emails!

• We ask that you do not cook in your tents, but use the cooking tents provided in your regional camping zone.
• Please do not bring disposable or charcoal BBQ's on site.
• There is no where to safely plug in electric camping fridges so please don't bring these along.
• Quinta is a dry site so no alcohol should be brought on to the site.
