Why Wellness in the Wild is perfect for coming solo
Thinking about coming to Wellness in the Wild Festival on your own? You’re very welcome here.
Whether you’re craving a weekend of self-care, looking to try something completely new, or simply want to escape the everyday and reconnect with yourself, coming solo can be one of the most rewarding ways to experience the festival.
You won’t be alone for long. Wellness in the Wild is a friendly, open community where you can meet like-minded people, join workshops and activities, share experiences, or simply enjoy some peaceful time for yourself.
FAQs
Not at all. Lots of people arrive without knowing anyone, and the festival is a naturally welcoming environment. You’ll be surrounded by people who are there for many of the same reasons: to switch off, try something new, meet like-minded people and enjoy some time for themselves.
You don’t need to arrive with a group to feel part of the festival.
Very easy! There are so many natural opportunities to connect throughout the weekend — from workshops and wellness sessions to shared meals, music, communal spaces and those lovely little conversations that happen along the way.
We also have dedicated solo traveller meet-ups during the weekend, giving you an easy way to meet others who are coming on their own.
And before you arrive, you can join our Facebook group to connect with fellow attendees and start getting to know people: Join the Facebook group here
Absolutely not.
One of the best things about coming solo is that you can make the weekend your own. Join a group when you feel like being social, then take yourself off for some quiet time when you need it.
There’s no pressure to attend every activity or spend every moment with other people. You can connect, recharge and explore at your own pace.
Take a breath — you don’t need a plan for every minute.
Have a wander, get your bearings, look through the programme and choose something that catches your eye. Joining your first workshop or activity is often a great way to settle in and start meeting people.
And remember, there’s no “right” way to experience Wellness in the Wild.
Absolutely. You don’t need any previous festival or wellness experience.
Whether you’re a complete beginner or already passionate about wellbeing, there’s space for you here. Come curious, try something new and take from the weekend whatever feels right for you.
Yes. Our team and volunteers are there throughout the festival and are always happy to point you in the right direction, answer questions or simply have a chat.
