The rumours are true! Following the success of last year, the Lughnasadh Gathering at Laughton Lodge is back! (say it with us: loo-nuh-suh!) This time it’s bigger, so even more faeries can experience the pleasure! 👀
Picture the tall grass caressing you and interlacing itself with your fingers, the steadfast trees holding you, grounding you as you rest against them, the sun enticing you out of your tent to frolic in the magic of nature and community…
We are gathering this year around Lughnasadh, the pagan holiday celebrating light. So let us bask in the light of the sun, tread lightly on the abundant lands of the Lodge, and weave some lightness into the ways we interact.
It is said that play is powerful, and laughter is the best medicine, so we invite you to step into your strength, or your healing, at this gathering. Invite your inner child, in the many ways they show up; whether through spontaneity, silliness, release or rebirth. Just really let loose, gworlz!
So gather up your intentions around Land, Laughter and Light, and meet us in the camping field at Laughton Lodge, where we come together to create the magic of Faeriespace.
We’ve put together a helpful mini-site with all the infomation you could need about the gathering, or read-on with this call for the key information…
The Gathering takes place at Laughton Lodge in Sussex, a small residential community overlooking the South Downs, and surrounded by stunning land made of beautiful meadows and grand oak trees. We really can not emphasise how lovely this site is!
The Faeries rent the main building and some of the surrounding land at the Lodge, giving us abundant access to nature. The gathering is a camping event, with approximately 50 Faeries, most of whom will be camping together in a large field and using the kitchen, bathrooms, showers, lounges and workshop rooms in the main building.
The main building does have six small bedrooms, which will be reserved for Fae with accessibility needs that would prevent them from camping. Fae are also welcome to bring live-in vehicles. You can read more about the different accommodations here
Please note, that due to the outdoorsy nature of this gathering there are some accessibility considerations for those with limited mobility. You can find out more about accessibility here.
All meals will be vegetarian and will also cater to vegan, gluten-free and other individual dietary requirements.
