The Cumbria Soundcamp is part of a network of UK and international sites taking part in the Reveil radio broadcast, which circles the earth at sunrise on a network of live audio streams. Each soundcamp is a chance to explore a place of acoustic and ecological interest through workshops, special performances, and presentations.

The Reveil broadcast is assembled from live audio feeds sent in by streamers at daybreak. Listen online here from 5am, Sat 5th May: http://soundtent.org/reveil/#/
