The vibe

The best festival in the most magical woods

Thought-provoking debates, campfire chats, games and euphoria-inspiring DJs!

This is a two-day event, not a one-nighter — so please bring your gorgeous energy to both days.

The lineup

Two days. One magic wood.

Friday

  1. Afternoon

    Arrival

    Arrive at leisure, put up tents.

  2. 2pm ish

    Book reading & debate

    We'll head to the woods where there will be cushions and shelter. Helen will give a reading of her new book, which she ghostwrote, followed by lively discussion. Then a second fun debate — subject revealed on the day.

  3. 7pm

    Curry in the woods

    Head across the field to the magic woods. By the old parachute and treehouse there will be music, drinks, psychedelic lights, campfire and lots of curry. Bring a drinking vessel!

Saturday

  1. 10.30am ish

    Yoga

    After breakie, there'll be a 45 min yoga session. Volunteers for teaching welcome! Bring a mat or towel to put on the grass.

  2. 11.15am ish

    Breathwork

    Stick by your mat and Helen will be doing a few breathwork exercises, designed to oxygenate and revive you for the afternoon and night!

  3. All day

    Log painting

    We'll have wood paints, and logs set up in the woods for anyone who has an urge to paint a tree (it's a thing). Hannah will show you all the tools!

  4. 4pm ish

    Mystery games

    Something to prep us up to party. Revealed on the day.

  5. 7pm

    Rockin' Rotisserie food truck

    Big generous chicken, lamb or falafel wraps — choice of different fillings and some yummy side salads. Bring your own vessels to minimise waste.

  6. 8pm 'til early morn

    DJ sets

    Some of the fave resident Wilderlove DJs are returning to bring the 'rave room' alive.

  7. 2am

    Trance set

    The tradition: a mind-blowing trance set in the 'nightclub' for those still up!

Sunday

  1. Morning

    Home time

    Slow start. Pack up, wash up what you used, hug everyone, head home glowing.

The logistics

What to know, what to bring

Food

Friday night: curry, served in the woods.

Saturday night: hearty wraps of different flavour chicken.

Veggie, vegan and gluten-free available obvs — tell us in advance so we have enough.

Breakfast and lunch: it's BYO.

Booze

We'll provide plenty of beer, cider, wine, prosecco, gin, vodka, rum, and mixers, ice and lemons.

For anything more inventive, feel free to bring with — but no obligation to bring any!

New on site

Outdoor sauna

A wood-fired sauna. Needs people to keep feeding it wood!

Tents

You know the drill.

For those too posh to peg, you can book a glamping tent for £230 from a private hire company.

Utensils

BYO a drinking vessel, your own plate / bowl and cutlery if you can (not single use 🙈), and wash up what you use.

Water & washing

Two outdoor showers will be rigged up — one hot, one cold.

And some nice-smelling portaloos.

Contributions

£75 per head

or £40 for one-nighters (by exception only!)
