Ilex Farm, Clay Cross

Discover a New TCUK Midlands Venue This September

We’re heading somewhere new as September begins, and we’re excited to welcome members to Ilex Farm Camping in Clay Cross, Derbyshire — a fresh addition to the TCUK Midlands calendar.

Set in peaceful countryside with a friendly, relaxed feel, Ilex Farm offers a great opportunity to explore a new site together while enjoying everything that makes late-summer camping so appealing: quieter days, comfortable temperatures, and calm evenings outdoors.

A Peaceful Farm-Based Campsite

🌿 Relaxed Rural Setting

Ilex Farm Camping is set on a working farm, offering open space, countryside views, and a laid-back atmosphere that’s ideal for a social yet unhurried weekend. It’s the kind of site where you can properly switch off and enjoy the simple pleasures of camping.

As a new venue for TCUK Midlands, this weekend is a great chance to:

• Try somewhere different

• Settle into a new campsite together

• Help shape what could become a future favourite

🚿 Comfortable, Well-Kept Facilities

The site provides clean, practical facilities to make your stay easy and comfortable, including:

• Toilet and shower facilities

• Fresh water and waste disposal

• Spacious pitches with room to relax

Everything you need for a stress-free weekend away.

Well Placed for Exploring Derbyshire

Ilex Farm’s location makes it a great base for light exploring if you fancy heading out:

• Clay Cross nearby for shops, cafés, and essentials

• Access to local walking and cycling routes, including former railway trails

• Easy reach of Chesterfield and the surrounding countryside

• Close to the edge of the Peak District for scenic drives or walks

Whether you head out for the day or stay on site, there’s no pressure — it’s your weekend to enjoy how you choose.

A Gentle, Social Start to Autumn

There’s no organised entertainment planned for this weekend, making it perfect for:

• Casual socialising with fellow campers

• Quiet evenings and relaxed conversations

• Enjoying the slower pace that early September brings

It’s an ideal event for winding down after a busy summer season while still making the most of being outdoors.

Join Us as We Try Somewhere New

The TCUK Midlands weekend at Ilex Farm Camping is about discovery, comfort, and good company — a chance to explore a new site together in a calm and welcoming setting.

Come along, pitch up, and help us give Ilex Farm its first TCUK Midlands welcome. We look forward to seeing you there.
