Tribe of Frog

You'll find Tribe of Frog on the grounds of Boomtown Fair, the massive open-air festival site just outside Winchester. It's essentially a sculptural installation and gathering point rather than a traditional attraction - a meeting place and photo opportunity that draws festival-goers year-round. The frog sculpture itself is instantly recognisable and has become something of a landmark for the site.

This is really a spot for festival enthusiasts and anyone curious about contemporary outdoor art. If you're camping at one of the nearby sites - Winchester Morn Hill Caravan and Motorhome Club Campsite is barely over a mile away, or Holden Farm Camping & Cafe at two miles - it's a decent excuse for a walk to stretch your legs between festival weekends. The Spinney Caravan Park and Hookpit Farm Caravan Site offer alternatives further afield if you're looking at longer stays in the area.

Access depends entirely on whether there's a festival on. It's free to wander the grounds during Boomtown Fair itself, though entry to the main event requires a ticket. Outside festival season, access is limited. Check the Boomtown Fair website before heading over - opening hours fluctuate and the site functions primarily as a festival venue rather than a year-round attraction. It's worth knowing Winchester itself has proper attractions if Tribe of Frog turns out to be closed, so don't bank on this alone for an afternoon out.
