People can camp somewhere special for one night only at spots including Emmetts Garden in Ide Hill and Sissinghurst Castle Garden

This summer the National Trust is offering an exclusive one night only chance to camp somewhere truly special.

With the Big Camp, taking place on Saturday, July 18, you can take your pick and stay among the orchard at a castle, in the grounds of Rudyard Kipling’s family home or wake up in the midst of ancient woodland.

With each special location putting on its own events there is something for everyone – from den building, bug hunting, storytelling and star gazing, to sporting activities, evening garden tours, dragonfly hunts and live music.
