NOMADS
Wander this way, beautiful drifters and desert dreamers… 🌍✨
NOMADS is more than a venue — it’s a roaming social sanctuary offering food, shelter, warmth & companionship… comida, refugio, calidez y compañía. A nomadic haven pitched on the Love Pirates shores where you can truly chill out, gather round, and feel at home.
Feast on world food to nourish belly and soul, sip coffees, juices and teas, devour cakes and crêpes at breakfast, and settle into a space alive with cinema, cabaret and creativity. Expect daily workshops, talks to spark reflection and debate, an art corner (recuperARTE), piano jams in the common orchestra, and fun and games for all ages. Lost adults? Found children? You’ll meet somewhere in the middle. 🎭🎬🎹
Live music flows through camp with our EXTRAORDINARY compère Not So French Joe, plus dance-floor howlers from Mad Dog Collective, Eat Prunes and more. There’s a Battle of the Bands with a BIG prize, open mic magic, cabaret delights — and even a Palestinian Dabke workshop, alongside space for solidarity, awareness and community care.
Each day carries its own spirit:
🌱 Friday — Eco-sustainable life
🏕️ Saturday — Nomad life
🤝 Sunday — Community life
We call it NOMADS because we are exactly that — a roaming social centre, a joyful “mobile squat,” a gathering of kindred souls. We are not mad… we are no mads.
Come rest, reflect, rave a little softer, and remember: wherever we wander, community is the true treasure. 🏴☠️🔥
