The Big Retreat Festival

The Big Retreat Festival Find your feel good at The Big Retreat Festival, May 28th - 31st 2027

We inspire our festival goers to leave the stresses of the 9-5 week at the door and join us for a weekend of discovery and wonder. Voted one of the “Top 5 Adventure and Wellbeing festivals” by the Guardian we strive to be the top boutique wellbeing festival in Wales and the U.K. The Big Retreaters are warmly invited to explore and discover the latest “feel good” experiences in the wellness industr

y. It’s all about “having a go” and trying out new ways to “find your feel good” in a safe and supportive space. We believe that exploration and trying new things will enhance our festival goers everyday lives and instill long term positive change. Our experiences include everything from fire walking to an icy gin, cookery demos to comedy, music to meditation, a sweaty gym session to chilled out yoga and wild swimming to gong baths. Be inspired by our panel of speakers and experts in the Talk Tent or chill out in the Soul Space. Whether you are an experienced yogi or just looking to dip your toe into ways to “find your feel good”. We have an abundance of experiences for you to discover at The Big Retreat Festival.

Thank you for supporting us this year.

The Big Retreat doesn’t happen without good people and good brands behind it.

Thank you for putting your Superberry Preserve in our goodie bag this year. 70% fruit, 40% less sugar, and a Great Taste award on the label — it disappeared fast on the breakfast tables.

We love partnering with brands started by mums who just wanted a better jam for their kids. Proper values, proper taste.

If you took one home, tell us what you spread it on 👇

That sunny last day feeling is still with me.

That’s me in the mint green at the very start, teaching. I don’t get to teach often anymore and I miss it and love it every time I do.

The rest of this little video is a flashback from the weekend.

Sunny day, gentle breeze, views right out over the estuary.

Thank you to everyone who shared the mat with me on the last day, and to everyone who brought the energy all weekend. Still buzzing.

☀️ BIG RETREAT HIGHLIGHT ☀️

Open mic poetry at Darwin’s Den. Strangers sharing words that were funny, personal, vulnerable, and amazing.

This photo is of someone who told us she’d NEVER share her poetry before. She did — and it was beautiful.

Please help us share this. If you know her, or you are her, we’d love to send you this moment. Drop a tag in the comments or DM us.

With love from all of us at The Big Retreat 🙏

When Luna Shelia Tang said “sing with me”, 80 voices answered.

No sheet music. No auditions. Just humans in a giant tipi, finding the same note at the same time.

This is why we do it. Community you can hear.

Sunday vibes.

This time last week, Craig’s handpan was filling Soul Space. Those resonant, slow waves that pulled a whole crowd into the same breath. Inclusive. Meditative. Wholesome. Electric in its own way.

We’re still carrying that stillness into the week.

This year also sees the release of her powerful new book, Your Joyful Years: Empowering Good Health and Happiness Beyond Fifty, exploring how women can thrive physically, emotionally and socially beyond midlife.

A Professor of Reproductive Science at UCL, podcast host and bestselling author, Joyce creates spaces that feel informative, uplifting and deeply human. Whether you’re navigating change, curious about your health, or simply looking for conversations that make you think differently about life and wellbeing, her sessions are not to be missed.
