Wellbeing
With 95% of us feeling happier, healthier, and calmer in nature, wellbeing isn’t a side note at ALSO – it’s woven into its DNA. ALSO is where boutique meets the wild. And being boutique and beautiful means your ALSO weekend enmeshes you in nature in a way no other festival can do, and with all your creature comforts covered.
With a half-mile-wide Capability Brown-designed lake that can only open to the public for this one weekend of the year, enmeshed in a 17th Century landscape gently being reclaimed by the wild, it all works together to recharge you, even before you join one of our many wellness activities programmed throughout the weekend.
Wellbeing in 2026
Sanctuary Sessions. Lakeside sauna. Cold plunge. . . Repeat. An all-new wellbeing area for ALSO26 is taking shape – a restorative world within the wild. This lakeside sanctuary will be the place to relax and rejuvenate and fringes a programme of world-class wellbeing classes: from Ecstatic Dance to Rage Release and all taking place across the wilds of the site and deep into the woods.
Next summer, the lake takes centre stage with many ways to enjoy this natural and beneficial body of water, from wild swimming at dusk and dawn, raft building and paddleboard safaris. And you don’t have to get wet – our wellness programme continues on land with aquatic walks and talks, our programme of workshops and masterclasses, or just gazing across the rippling surface and the reflection of sun-dappled trees in a scented meditation.
