Meet the Team

FY Camp is a small, independent, family-run business managed by sisters Sarah and Rachel. With a dedicated team of local, fabulous people and family members, the campsite has organically evolved on their family home and land, which their parents bought as a smallholding over 20 years ago. Matt, another key figure, built the first bender tent several years ago from locally coppiced hazel, now the beautiful Wren’s Nest. The warehouse, known as “the coolest warehouse in the East” by the Most Curious Wedding Fair, came later, adding a trendy touch to the venue.

Recognition and Sustainability

FY Camp has been featured in numerous publications, including The Guardian, The Independent, Wedding Ideas Magazine, Rock & Roll Bride, the EDP, Time Out London, The Sunday Telegraph, Rock My Wedding, and Coco Wedding Venues. The venue is celebrated for its commitment to sustainability and eco-friendly practices. FY Camp champions a no-single-use plastic policy and ethical bar practices, including sober weddings and celebrations.

Planning and Extras

FY Camp aims to make your wedding planning as smooth as possible. While the venue provides essential facilities, couples need to book a celebrant or registrar to perform the ceremony and handle legal duties.

Catering arrangements are also a key consideration. Other frequent extras include draping, chair or prop hire, photographers, videographers, DJs or bands, florists, and outdoor features or activities. FY Camp’s team is ready to assist you in sourcing and coordinating these additional services to bring your vision to life.
