This is us.

A 'Feel Good' Getaway

We believe in the power of the outdoors to enhance physical and mental wellbeing. To ground but also uplift. To nourish, restore and inspire.

• DISCOVERY - We celebrate discovery. We invite you to try, taste, explore, listen, and open your mind and body to new things. Our team of experts believe passionately in what they do and their can-do attitude is infectious. We are stimulating and surprising, offering an ever-evolving array of interesting and unexpected experiences to inspire and enthuse every visitor.

• SIMPLICITY -  We like to keep things simple. People love us because we’re small, safe, easygoing and unpretentious. We embrace nature and we encourage others to enjoy and respect its beauty and benefits. We’re a low impact festival and we work on enhancing green space for biodiversity throughout the year

• DELIGHT - Our aim is to delight. We have fun, we entertain, we smile. Whether it’s the spectacular beauty of the setting, the diversity and quality of the entertainment, the new and surprising things to discover, or the delicious flavours to sample, we create a shared atmosphere of happiness and positivity. The Big Retreat experience is enchanting, vibrant and charming - something you’ll never forget.

• WELLBEING -.We are feel-good in every sense of the word. Our focus on wellbeing means visitors leave feeling physically and mentally rejuvenated, invigorated and uplifted. But we’re not preachy or judgemental – for us, wellbeing is as much about a nice glass of gin as it is a yoga class. We are both relaxing and energising in equal measure, a place to connect with others, with nature, and with your own sense of self.
