  • Please head to our line-up page where you can find all of the offerings for our 2025 festival. We would recommend Release and Re-birth with Cacao Ceremony and Warm Mud Bath facilitated by Maya Sacred or Sunnd Sauna, a wood fired sauna made to roam. 🤎🔥

  • In 2025, the wonderful Amrutha were our communal food suppliers providing a delicious Vegan and Gluten free menu all weekend so that everyone can partake in communal eating. If you would like to eat the communal food then we are encouraging people to buy a weekend meal ticket in advance.

    Buying a meal ticket before the event will help to accurately prepare and minimize food waste. Taking  payments on the day will slow down the service. 

    There are also children’s meal tickets available. 

    Our wonderful Cacao Shack will also be serving light snacks, vegan wraps & vegan sausage rolls. 

    We are not a strictly vegan site, so please bring whatever food you prefer if our offerings are not to your taste. 

    If you have very fussy or hungry little people being extra snacks.

    There is a drinking water tap on-site and a wonderful Conscious Bar. 

    Here is the menu and link to buy a meal to ticket with Amrutha.
