As of July 17, 2026.
“Every new booking for a Duke of Edinburgh group of more than 20 students
must have a supervisor on-site at all times.”
Westermill Farm Camping appreciates the “complexities” involved in making a booking for a DofE group.
IF your institution’s schedule requires time to confirm supervisor, support staff, participant numbers and funding – Please take as much time as necessary to do so – and make a booking when convenient for yourselves.
Westermill Farm Camping is able to accommodate a DofE booking made at almost any time – up to and including upon the “date of arrival” – however, we sincerely appreciate as much advance notice possible as is feasible for you.
In any event, Westermill Farm Camping requires completion of our DofE online booking form and, adherence to our payment options, prior to a DofE group camping overnight.
Finally, rest assured that Westermill Farm Camping will accommodate any and all changes to your booking regarding supervisor, support staff and participant numbers or dates as you require … with respect to the following: see Alteration by the Client.
