Nicknamed the ‘Woodstock of Wellness’ – Verve festival celebrates health, wellness and nature in the magical Wiltshire countryside. The festival is at hatch House which is set in an area of outstanding natural beauty and it is an international dark sky reserve, which will give you spectacular view of the stars and planets on a clear night. How holistic does that sound to you?

Guests can take part in yoga, meditation, breathworks, gong baths, kirtan, fitness and dance classes, as well as listening to a range of talks from sober curiosity to finding your purpose.

On Friday there is stargazing, a fire opening ceremony and living music and locally sourced food and drink to kick start your weekend.

Verve festival is the brain child of Anna and Charlotte, two friends and neighbours who met at a yoga class and who quickly bonded over their joint passion for wellbeing. After years of working in the corporate, the two women felt the need to create a festival that would bringing together fitness, food and drink, and health and wellness. And that is where the Verve festival was born.

Final Tips for a Memorable Verve Experience

  1. Balance Your Schedule: It’s tempting to do it all when you love Yoga as much as me, but make sure you give yourself some downtime between workshops and classes. Mix in restorative classes with the more active ones to keep your energy balanced.
  2. Pamper Yourself at the Spa: Don’t miss out on the spa treatments—they’re the perfect way to relax and rejuvenate between all the activities. And you’l make new friends in the Sauna.
  3. Try Something New: Whether it’s a new type of yoga, a creative workshop, or a holistic therapy, Verve is the perfect place to step out of your comfort zone. Pushing yourself to try new things is one way to keep your mind and body in healthy balance.
  4. Unplug and Be Present: Consider taking a break from your phone and really immersing yourself in the experience. Trust me, the emails can wait!
