2026 Highlights

It’s the warmth, connection, freedom and joy you see here that lie at the heart of The Big Retreat. Research led by Professor Joyce Harper of University College London found that more than 80% of those surveyed experienced an improvement in their mental wellbeing after attending, and the festival has also been nominated for Most Transformational Retreat.

Designed especially for grown-ups, it blends inspiring talks, creativity, movement, fantastic food, uplifting music and plenty of space to slow down—giving more people the opportunity to experience The Big Retreat without travelling west to Pembrokeshire.

An additional location. The same Big Retreat heart. This time, just for grown-ups.
