Out & Wild is a festival focused around connecting through shared experiences. We will host dozens of activities over the three days, from wild swimming to yoga to creative writing and tasters of sport. There will be music every evening, with silent DJ sets under the stars at the end of the night.
The festival is a supportive space. We will have meeters and greeters for those who come solo and a safe space area for anyone that needs it during the three days.
We are focused on creating a welcoming, safe and supportive spaces for all LGBTQIA women and those who identify as non-binary. We also strive to reflect diversity in our acts and artists.
We aim to also make the festival as accessible as possible for those with a disability or that have accessibility needs.
We want Out & Wild to celebrate our community. We want to showcase female and non-binary talent, which is often under represented at festivals. We will be working with local charities and organisations to offer bursary tickets. Every year we will choose a charity partner.
In 2023 our charity partner was YMCA Swansea.
YMCA Swansea improves the quality of life for young people across the region; providing a diverse range of services to 500 people per week in the local area. YMCA Swansea’s main projects include their GoodVibes LGBTQ+ Youth Group and Provision, Young Carers Service, Y-Talent Music Project and Y-HUB Youth Group.
We are working with our site and operational partners to make The Out & Wild Festival site as accessible as possible in our second year.
We do offer free spaces to personal assistants for those that require them and free parking for those with a valid disabled badge (see FAQs for more details).
