Location & Travel

Heart Festival has a new venue for 2024! Join us at Gaunts House in Dorset for a glorious celebration of Love!

Arrival & Departure

Site opens from midday on Friday 23rd August 2024. Please do not arrive before then. If you come early, you might want to bring a picnic lunch to enjoy as you set up camp and soak up the atmosphere. First full camp meal is dinner time. The programme will begin at 2pm.

The festival will finish with a magical closing ceremony on Sunday morning, ending at midday. After which, we kindly ask all camping guests to vacate the site. Anyone who is still around after 1pm we know must be there to help clear up and we will give you jobs!

Accessibility Statement

We are coming together in the heart for celebration and for healing so we want to make this space as accessible as possible.

The festival will be held at Gaunts House, with space for camping, campervans and also the option of glamping or BnB accommodation in Gaunts House.  As such we recommend that you prepare with sensible footwear waterproofs and warm clothing for the evening (don't forget torches and insect repellent too!). We are also aware that accessibility on to a site like this may feel difficult for some people, with more complex needs and abilities. So if you are feeling called to join us but are worried about your personal access to the site for whatever reason, including things like needing assistance with putting up tents and carrying heavy luggage to and from your transport, then please do get in touch to discuss this with us so we can hopefully find a way to make this experience accessible to you. Just to note, there will always be a few wonderful Karma Yogi's and site co-ordinators on site who would be delighted to help as well as a first aid area.
