APRIL 2026 LAP PEACE CAMP Lakenheath

Dates:   April 1 – 6 2026

Location: Daytime at the main gate RAF Lakenheath. Overnight in a nearby village hall with a large camping area at the back.

Accommodation: 

Camping – bring your own tent, sleep in a marquee, or on the floor of the hall. £5 – £10 a night. 

In a bed – book into the local Travelodge at Barton Mills, find a local bnb, or locate local residents offering a bed for the night.

Catering:  Roo and his team will be providing vegan meals with gluten-free options. Donations will be collected at mealtimes.

Transport: A shuttle bus service will give lifts to and from the nearest stations, the base, the viewing area, and the village hall. Volunteers with their own cars will also provide lifts. Thanks to Carol and Nigel for organising all of this.

Workshops: there will be workshops and training at the maingate during the day, and in the evenings at the village hall. Thank you Lesley for coordinating this. If you want to offer a workshop, let her know

NVDA training: training for nonviolent direct action needs to happen before the camp, rather than during it, so that affinity groups can get together and are well prepared in advance. Christina, Marcus and others will provide the training.

Registration form: Ginnie and Pete are devising a peace camp registration form to go to all existing and new LAP subscribers. It will ask for details, dates you plan to come, and accommodation intentions etc.

Banner-making and artwork: Hopefully Zareen will be collecting and encouraging creative people to get creative again! 

Music and singing: the more the better! Marie is considering another choir day…

Wellbeing: a wellbeing space will be available at the base and at the hall.

Actions: being there is a vital action in itself, and allsorts of other actions are needed too, big and small, to raise the profile and get much needed publicity. A means of communicating about the actions you want to take will be provided. Coordinated by Angie.

Fund-raising: All this costs money, and while grant applications are being made, donations are still needed. Please encourage your peace / justice organisations to donate on the LAP website…. £30 from 60+ LAP alliance organisations would make a big difference!  https://lakenheathallianceforpeace.org.uk/donate/

More detailed information will be coming soon.

Love and peace, Ginnie Herbert and the LAP team
