“The Heart Festival is a unique and very special event. I went to the first one last year on my own and it was a magical weekend of music, dance, chanting, yoga, meditation, sound healing and a lot of love, hugs and a great sense of community. The food was great and I loved the evening gatherings around the fire. Really looking forward to this years festival” - Amanda Glover, Yoga Teacher

This year at Gaunts House!

Why We Have Chosen Gaunts House as Our Home This Year?

We are thrilled to announce that Gaunts House will be our home for this year's Heart Festival. This beautiful space in nature, with its deep history in healing, offers the perfect setting for our gathering. Gaunts House, a large country home from another age, is set in extensive, wondrous grounds. It is peopled by merry, empathetic souls of all ages and backgrounds, offering a unique blend of peace and harmony.

Gaunts House is much more than just a venue; it is a sanctuary steeped in an inspirational Charter that has guided its fortunes as a hub of creative living. This essence is found behind, beneath, and all around the estate. Here, challenges to our humanness and the pursuit of The Real are explored through profound thought and conversation. These themes are mirrored in the fabric of the house and danced in every leaf of the protective trees, in the birds and wildlife of this unusual sanctuary, making it a ‘second home’ to tens of thousands.

This picturesque and serene environment makes Gaunts House the ideal home for our festival, allowing us to connect deeply with nature, with ourselves, and with each other. We look forward to creating unforgettable memories and experiencing profound transformations together in this extraordinary space. Welcome to Heart Festival at Gaunts House – where peace, love, and harmony await.
