Wild Rogues - Summer Volunteering Week

23–28 June 2026

Wild Rogues is Rushmere Farm’s annual summer volunteering week, a shared time of caring for the land, learning together, and enjoying simple community on the farm.

It’s a working week shaped by the season and the people who take part, combining practical farm work, wellbeing, and relaxed communal evenings.

How to book

Most people join Wild Rogues by booking a Volunteer Week Ticket, which includes full participation in the week and camping on site.

If you’re unable to attend the full week, day tickets and evening-only tickets are also available.

If you are an Engaged or Lead Steward of Rushmere Farm this event is free to you !
