Soul Spa
We’ve been expanding on our Soul Spa Wellness area at DorsetFest since 2017 and this year it gets even bigger and better.
Saira has brought together a team of therapists who are all local to our lovely corner of Dorset. Get in touch with them prior to the festival for more information or to book a time slot or just turn up and choose something on the day.
The therapy tents will be open from 11am – 6pm on Saturday only, don’t miss out.
Sessions run from 15 mins to 1 hour and prices start at £10
We’ve also got all day yoga and sound baths for you to indulge in during your festival, whether you’re with us for a day, evening or all weekend you’ll find something perfect.
Yoga and sound bath sessions cost just £5 for 45 minutes and you can buy an all day pass for £15 and just lie in our wellness tent all day if you wish!
