An unforgettable day retreat at the stunning Mothecombe Estate on May 4th.

Silent disco headphones will guide you through every beat, allowing you to fully sink into the rhythm and release any tension in both body and mind.
After getting your groove on, ease into a calming wind-down yoga and wine session, the perfect balance of relaxation and indulgence. We’ll make our way down to the sea for an invigorating swim to refresh and energise.

Charlequin, from Beat Circus and the official Somewhere Sauna director, will keep the atmosphere alive, djing a specially curated set of tunes. Add a real sense of luxury to your evening and immerse yourself in a herbal sauna ritual with Plants Move You, connecting deeply with nature’s healing elements, or simply relax by the fireside with VINOYASA with a tipple or two!
