Full Moon Drumming Circle at Nellie’s Wood, Peak District

Join us on Thursday 1st May for a Full Moon Drumming Circle in Nellie’s Wood, Peak District — a small, intimate gathering held beneath the open sky at a powerful seasonal turning point.

The 1st of May marks Beltane, a traditional time of vitality, renewal, and connection with the land.

Through steady rhythm, shared drumming, and presence beneath the full moon, we create a grounded space to release tension, reconnect with nature, and welcome the lighter half of the year.

No drumming experience is needed. Drums are provided, and you are welcome to bring your own.

The circle is gently guided, with space to drum, listen, rest, and simply be.

This is a held, supportive woodland gathering, limited in numbers.

Meeting Point & Arrival

Please meet at the village car park at 6:45pm prompt.

From there, we will walk together into Nellie’s Wood as a group.
