THE OUT & WILD EXPERIENCE

Out & Wild is all about connecting through shared experiences. We design our activities to be welcoming, inclusive and accessible (and lots of fun!).

We have dozens of acts and experiences throughout the day and into the evening.

Our team of curators hand pick amazing acts, speakers, facilitators and workshop leads.

As well as an annual festival, we run retreats and pop up events across the UK.

WELLNESS & WORKOUTS

We run accessible Wellness & Workout experiences throughout the day. This includes different types of yoga, gong baths, breathwork, dance classes, circuits, kirtan, forest bathing and much more.

There are three spaces devoted to Wellness & Workouts and we also use the surrounding woods. We work with experts in their field to provide the very best expeiences.

MUSIC & COMEDY

Our main stage opens at 7pm with DJ sets and a chance to meet others (we run solo meet ups here on Friday and Saturday). We showcase LGBTQIA+ music and comedy acts across the weekend.

We finish Friday and Saturday evening with our ever popular silent DJ sets. On Sunday we have sing alongs at our fire pit (a must not miss!).

SPOKEN WORD

In 2024 our Spoken Word tent literally overflowed.

You can hear interviews and talks from amazing authors, poets and inspirational speakers. .

By popular demand the Open Mic nght will be back on Friday. And we will be running creative workshops.

SPORTS & HIKES

Our new site provides fantastic opportunities for water sports, including wild swimming, stand up paddleboarding and surfing.

Join us for daily walks and group sports like football and volleyball.

WORKSHOPS

We run workshops throughout the day. For 2024 these will include creative writing, relationships, health and wellbeing and arts and crafts.

We plan to have two workshops spaces, including the return of the Magic Teapot! We work with local and national leads to deliver our interactive sessions.

FOOD & DRINK

We will have three bars, selling a good range of alcohol and alcohol free drinks.

This year we will have cafes and the option to buy inclusive food packages at the restaurant on site.

We make sure we have vegan and gluten free options available.

Honestly, it was probably the best weekend of my life. I am so overcome with emotion when I think out how incredible it was for me. I felt such overwhelming joy and peace at Out & Wild which I don't think could be replicated by any other experience

WOW…couldn’t have been better, what a fabulous experience and setting. A place I’ll hold forever in my heart. Loved all the fab events.

My first festival …incredible location with some great walking, tennis, dancing and meeting new people. I’m already looking forward to next year

A really lovely and friendly festival to perform at in front of a really engaged audience

The festival was totally inclusive for non-binary and trans women…the volunteers and people were welcoming, kind and friendly. The activities were fantastic, so much variety for everyone, including those with disabilities. A truly wonderful experience.

Was a fabulous event! Can’t wait for next year!

I had a really good weekend. The vibe at the festival was exactly what I needed - really friendly and chilled, the location was beautiful and the weather was great!

The most heart warming friendly and happy festival I have ever been to
