Peace camp

Aldermaston Women’s Peace Camp is held on the 2nd weekend of every month, from Friday evening to Sunday lunch-time. See left sidebar for details. All women are welcome to come along at any time - and male visitors are welcome at camp during the day, but not after dark.

What happens at camp? Camp is really what we choose to make it : as well as a monthly meeting to plan and develop our acitivities and campaigns, there are a range of activities depending on what we have planned or feel like doing. There might be a workshop on a specific subject - from fence-climbing  to video techniques. You could get involved in doing a stall in a local town, or in making banners, or  in some type of non-violent direct action. Or you could take a long walk around the base or just sit around the fire talking.

We encourage women to join in with non-violent direct action, but it is by no means compulsory and... you do not have to get arrested!

What do I need to bring?
You’ll need a tent, a sleeping bag and a sleeping mat (if you don’t have these, please let us know as we have spares) and in winter, bring a hot-water bottle!

If you can, please bring food to share (vegan or vegetarian), or some cash to donate towards food during the weekend.

Download our "new women's" leaflet (pdf file), containing lots of information about how we organise camp.

How do I get there?
The camp is currently located on the west of the base and is visible from the A340.
