Question 1

What is Wild & Wiser?

Accepted Answer

Wild & Wiser is a nature-led gathering for women who want to slow down, reconnect and remember who they are beneath the noise of everyday life.

It’s a blend of:
 • Wellbeing and movement
 • Creativity and play
 • Honest conversations about life, work and purpose
 • Music, laughter, dancing, comedy and shared moments

This isn’t a silent retreat, and it’s not a party-for-the-sake-of-it festival either.
It’s about grounding and joy, reflection and release.

Question 2

Who is Wild & Wiser for?

Accepted Answer

Wild & Wiser is for women of every stage of life.

We warmly welcome all women, including trans women and those who identify as women, who feel aligned with the purpose and spirit of the event.

This is a space grounded in respect, care and shared experience, and we ask all attendees to engage in a way that supports the safety, comfort and wellbeing of everyone present.

Question 3

What will the vibe be like?

Accepted Answer

Warm, welcoming and inclusive — with space for both depth and letting go.

Across the weekend you’ll find:

• Practical and inspiring talks and workshops 
 • Time in nature, with big skies
 • Laughter and play 
 • Dancing and DJs, optional singing 
 • Honest conversations

You can go deep, stay light, or do both.
Nothing is compulsory — this is your weekend, at your pace.

Question 4

Is the event suitable for children?

Accepted Answer

Wild & Wiser is not suitable for younger children.

The content, atmosphere and schedule are designed for adults and older teens, allowing everyone attending to fully relax, engage and feel safe in an adult-centred space.

Question 5

Are dogs allowed?

Accepted Answer

No dogs are permitted on site, including dogs on leads or in vehicles.
This is for safety, comfort and in line with site regulations.

Question 6

Do I need to book onto sessions in advance?

Accepted Answer

No.
There are no advance bookings for sessions. All sessions are:

• First come, first served
 • Capacity-limited for safety and quality

We’ll do our best to programme repeats and manage flow so everyone can experience a rich weekend, but access to specific sessions can’t be guaranteed.

Question 7

Where is the event held?

Accepted Answer

Wild & Wiser takes place at Wooders Campsite,  a beautiful rural site surrounded by woodland, open skies and nature.
It’s intentionally simple, spacious and grounding — not a manicured luxury venue.

Question 8

What facilities are available on site?

Accepted Answer

Wooders is a working campsite and we won’t have exclusive use of the full site, so some facilities are shared.

You can expect:

• Showers and toilets on site - rustic and functional, not luxury 
 • Additional “posh loos” brought in for the festival
 • Communal marquees, outdoor stages and gathering spaces
Facilities are clean and well maintained, but this is a countryside festival — not a hotel.

Question 9

Can I camp or glamp?

Accepted Answer

Yes.
You can:
 • Bring your own tent
 • Arrive by campervan (with the appropriate ticket)
Glamping is available at an additional cost and is:
 • Booked directly with Perfect Party Tents
 • Subject to availability
 • Separate from your Wild & Wiser ticket

Full details will be shared once tickets are live.

Question 10

What should I wear?

Accepted Answer

Dress for comfort and the weather.

Think:

• Layers
 • Waterproofs
 • Sturdy shoes or boots
 • Cosy jumpers
 • Clothes you’re happy to sit, move and dance in
This is a heels-off, real-life event.

Question 11

Is there power or charging on site?

Accepted Answer

There is no general power supply for personal devices.

Please bring:

• A fully charged phone
 • A power bank if needed
We actively encourage disconnecting to reconnect and being as present as possible. There will be photographers capturing the weekend and even an opportunity for your own professional headshot.

Question 12

Can I bring food and drink?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you’re welcome to bring your own food and drinks. However, we do encourage supporting our local food traders and suppliers, who’ll be serving nourishing, delicious options throughout the weekend.
Important:
No glass is permitted anywhere on site and please do your best to recycle.

Question 13

Will there be a bar?

Accepted Answer

Yes.

There will be:

• A bar open on Friday evening for early arrivals
 • Bar service from late afternoon on Saturday.

The bar will take both card and cash.

Question 14

What about music, DJs and noise?

Accepted Answer

There will be music, DJs, dancing and joyful noise earlier in the evening.

However, due to site and local authority rules:

• No amplified music is permitted after 11pm
 • Quiet hours must be respected
We're grateful to you for honouring this to ensure we can relax, enjoy ourselves and be welcomed back.
