A feel good getaway.

Four uplifting, unforgettable days to relax, reflect and reboot.

Get back to nature in the wilds of West Wales. Reconnect with yourself, the people you love, and the things that simply make you smile. Have fun, nourish your soul, and restore your body.

Your ticket gives you access to over 300 carefully curated experiences: fitness, yoga, talks, workshops, foraging, feasting, arts, bushcraft, live music and more.

Find your Feel Good right here. Nourish your body and soul this summer

Voted one of the 'Top 5 Wellbeing & Adventure Festivals' by The Guardian.

Whatever Feel Good means to you, you’ll find it at The Big Retreat.

From the buzz of live music to the bliss of yoga and wild swimming. From woodland foraging to cookery demos and gin workshops. From high energy workouts to gong baths and meditation.

We present a smorgasbord of Feel Good wonders to delight, refresh and inspire.
