Wild Heart Gathering // 22-25 May

This is a weekend of exquisite music, amazing workshops, wild crafts,
delicious food, talks, debates, ceremony, forages, bushcraft, yoga,
dancing, Shamanism, nature connection, meditation, song and much
more. Wild Heart is a wonderful opportunity to spend time in nature at
one of the most beautiful times of year. There will be fantastic music,
poetry and spoken word from around the world, with a cornucopia of
delights to awaken that wild heart and soul.

Described as both the music festival with good beer, and the beer festival
with good music, Glastonwick is a combination of the two, with added
fun and family activities thrown in for good measure. The Men They
Couldn’t Hang, The Piranhas, Robb Johnson and the Irregulars, and The
Wellington Wailers all make an appearance over the weekend, and the
beers (including, of course, real ale) are the most unique and rare you will
find in the area. Enjoy them while they last!

the headliners
themselves,
you know it’s
going to be
good. One of
the most highly
anticipated
Disclosure and Rudimental at Brighton City Airport
