The best wellness and fitness festivals in the UK for 2018

Move over Glastonbury, there’s a new kind of festival on our radar
1/6

As a nation, we have well and truly embraced the concept of ‘wellness’. We have wellness hotels, wellness retreats - and now wellness festivals.

A wellness festival is similar to a regular music festival in that there will often be live acts playing, but it has the added benefits of exercise and mindfulness classes offered throughout the day.

From yoga brunches with Deliciously Ella to dancing the night away in a forest in the Cotswolds, below are six of the best wellness and fitness festivals around the UK this year.

1. LoveFit 2018

LoveFit

LoveFit combines fitness with classic music festival vibes. Expect three days and three nights of adrenaline-inducing fitness and boutique after parties. During the day you will be treated to a lineup of world class fitness instructors teaching you everything from hot yoga to kick boxing. By night you will be treated to DJ sets while you party under the stars.

To add a touch of luxury to your trip, opt for a stay in a pop up hotel instead of camping.

When: July 20 - 22

Where: St Clere Estate near London

Price: £89 for the weekend

2. Wilderness

Wilderness

This festival truly has something for everyone. While it has all the aspects of a traditional music festival – four days of massive lineups – there are also a number of fitness classes to attend across the weekend. Think yoga, barre and group running. Last year they even had a yoga brunch club with Deliciously Ella. Sign us up.

When: August 2 - 5

Where: Cornbury Park, Oxfordshire
