‘‘A spa retreat during the day and excellent music in the evening. The best of both worlds!’’
‘‘We have an absolutely amazing time at We are not a Festival. With three children in tow sometimes camping can be hard work. However the festival was so well organised and so well thought through. The children has a blast and there was plenty to keep them occupied. The balance between things to do for adults and children was perfect. The site was a perfect size and and we all had an amazing bank holiday weekend! Thank you! We will definitely be back next year!’’
— Claire Ackford
‘‘It was a real tonic to be outdoors and to hear live music again. The setting was perfect with great walking in the woods nearby. Everybody connected with the organisation was friendly, cheerful and helpful. Highly recommended. The weekend was so therapeutic that we didn't even argue when packing up the car to leave :-)’’
— Jacqui Duggan

‘‘The aerial skills workshop with Sita (I think that was her name) was wonderful - I have never done anything like it before and I picked up the loop very quickly. It was enchanting being able to do something like that in a woodland setting.’’
— Francesca Ryan
‘‘Definitely what we needed as we both are clinical in the NHS and this is the first time been away for months as our work rota’s haven’t allowed it. Upgrading to Bell tents was so worth it! (initially were going to use our new tent bought for the 2020 festival season) but the set up was fantastic and the beds so comfortable.’’
— Carolyn Irvine
‘‘Morning Meditation, Sound Workshop, Finding your true self, Rooks Jewellery, Art for everyone. Loved them all, was amazing to have such a variety of opportunities to take part in, beautiful location, a wonderful group of guides and teachers, and would have done more if I hadn't also got the children. Really came away feeling calm, centred and renewed!!!
The facilities were great, in terms of safety the colour coding (toilets and showers) was a great idea, and of course they were cleaned a lot too, which was fantastic.’’
