A new UK first in the form of an LGBT+ wellness festival is coming to Lawrenny, Pembrokeshire, in June. The three day event, which is set to take place between June 10 to 13 will see "dozens" of activities for attendees to get stuck into. From wild swimming to spoken word events, the wellness festival has been described as a new "wholesome" experience for LGBT+ women to connect and make meaningful connections.
Out & Wild is a festival focused around connecting through shared experiences, with dozens of activities over the three days, from wild swimming to yoga to creative writing and sport tasters. There will be music every evening, with silent DJ sets under the stars at the end of the night. Only available to those 18 years and above, the new festival has promised that family events and pop ups will be making an appearance in the very near future. Approaching 50 years of Prides here in the UK, organisers thought it was time for something new to be launched that benefits the community.
Partnered with the likes of Pink News and Swim Wales, the new festival has received funding support from the Welsh Government. Cardiff's Queer Emporium and LGBT+ BAME group Glitter Cymru are set to be involved as well. Co-founded by Polly Shute and her partner, the two wanted to create a safe and different space for LGBT+ women which was created by women.
