Review from Rose-Marie Mulligan
"I’ve been looking for a festival that my family and I could go to that would keep us entertained both as a family and individually and we certainly found it all and more at The Big Retreat! We stayed in one of the bell tents which added to the whole festival feel and which my children absolutely loved. The facilities there exceeded all expectations of a campsite which for my non camping husband, was a big relief! It was great to see my children running around the fields and forests meeting their friends and making new ones and if they weren’t doing that, they were with us doing one of the many classes that were on offer. The vibe of the whole weekend was just full of positive energy, love and happiness. We left feeling relaxed, reconnected, recharged and really looking forward to next year!"
