Big Retreat with Magical Return

The Big Retreat Festival returned for the first weekend of June with a magical line-up bathed in the very best of Pembrokeshire sunshine. More than 2000 festival goers came to Lawrenny Park, one of the most spectacular sites in the UK, to celebrate live music, wellbeing, fitness and discovery above the River Cleddau in the heart of the Pembrokeshire National Park. Only 2 weeks on, three quarters of early bird tickets for ’24 have already sold.

“Voted one of the top wellbeing festivals in the UK and hailed as a life-changing experience by former retreaters, this really is a festival like no other,” said founder Amber Lort-Phillips. “And this really was my favourite so far, with hundreds of classes, talks and activities covering every corner of well-being – from yoga and fitness to wild swimming and forest bathing. We’ve had brilliant feedback from this year’s Big Retreaters saying they left feeling recharged, rejuvenated and ready to come back next year!” 

The Big Retreat celebrates positivity, curiosity and self-care in every form, and the jam-packed-yet-mellow schedule showcases 300 carefully curated feelgood activities across 12 different feel-good areas, led by hundreds of leading teachers, speakers, musicians and foodies. The 2023 line-up included a variety of big names from the worlds of health, wellbeing, music and fitness – from headliners Scouting for Girls and a DJ set by Gok Wan, to Max La Manna a.k.a. the Low Waste Chef and workout legend, Mr Motivator!

Set in the stunning Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, surrounded by woodland, the Big Retreat delivers a contagiously uplifting atmosphere, with a warm for festival goers whether they’re travelling alone, as couples, with friends or with the whole family. 

“Bringing together like-minded individuals and offering a space for them to experience pure human connection, unconditional acceptance and a lot of joy is what this festival does best,” continued Amber. “Whatever feelgood means to you, you’re sure to find it at The Big Retreat Festival when we return in 2024!”

“I can’t wait to see everyone next year!”
