They came, they saw – and they went away thoroughly relaxed.
Visitors thoroughly enjoyed the first Enchanted Fields Festival to take place at Victoria Park in Southport over Friday, Saturday and Sunday (24th-26th June) where they indulged in a unique weekend of yoga, wellness and family entertainment.
People took part in a huge array of wellness activities including; yoga sessions, meditations, cocoa ceremonies, womb healing, yin, Pilates, somatics and workshops, in the tranquil setting of the park, which is a stone’s throw from the sea.

There was also lots of entertainment for families to enjoy, with three huge marquees hosting live music, spoken word and dance workshops, followed by light and fire performances in the evening.
Magical local Merseyside acts included; 60 member drumming group Katumba, light, fire and meditative performers Bring the Fire and DJ Sonic Disco.

The event, which is in its third year but the first at Victoria Park, celebrated a return to the hometown of festival director, yoga instructor and reiki practitioner Chloe Ward, with the aim of supporting local independent businesses.
There was a holistic village filled with stalls where visitors could; book a massage, try a tarot reading, peruse beautiful clothing and jewellery and discover new foods, in the food and drink area, or relax in the bar tent, before a soulful rest in the Glamping yurts or camping area.

Wild Root cafe brought its Vegan delights, whilst those craving tasty treats tucked into Chip’d chips and Mexican street food from Spicy Jack Deli.
The Enchanted Fields Festival will return in 2023. For more details visit enchantedfieldsfestival.com and if you would like to take part please email Chloe at: hello@enchantedfieldsfestival.com
