Bring your Tent or a Camper or book your accommodation in the house
Over the years we have hosted many amazing gatherings. And this August is no different. We are working on a beautiful, five-day nature connecting event in August 2025.
The world is messy, sometimes confusing, often overwhelming, but not here at Gaunts House.
Our driveway is the path to relaxation, rejuvenation, learning, clarity, and play. This summer, join us as we honour the land, unleash untapped creativity, embrace new practices, reflect, reimagine, and have lots of fun! The Summer Festival at Gaunts House is about discovering inner and outer connections with the earth, the sky, with Self, and each other!
Your Time or Family Time?
Come by alone, or bring your family and friends to take part in our free flowing programme of hands-on, heart-in activities ‘housed’ within one of five Hubs:
- The Herbal Hub: Unleash clarity around the usefulness of herbs in healing, cooking, aroma, and more.
- The Movement Hub: Take part in meditation, yoga, and mindfulness conversations.
- The Creative Hub: Join a creative collaborative to write a short play or a musical score which you all then get to perform in the Barn Theatre.
- The Grounding Hub: Speak with the earth, the seedlings, the plants and work together to understand the nuances of veggie gardens, flower beds, and forests!
- The Family Hub: Enjoy activities designed for all ages, from storytelling sessions to family yoga and nature walks.
This free-fall of creativity is sprinkled with gentle music, group drumming, evening camp fires, lots of space to be and connect and laughter!
