ABOUT

Taste meets adventure and elegance in this unforgettable wine tasting experience, curated in partnership with Virgin Wines and set against the dramatic backdrop of Weobley Castle. Begin with an optional guided 4km run across the salt marshes, then return to savour four exceptional wines, handpicked by expert sommeliers from Virgin Wines, renowned for their bold, characterful selections.

The guided run will take you straight out onto the Estuary, crossing the meandering waters on the salt marsh, alongside the sheep and wild ponies that graze the marshes. Socially paced, with plenty of stops, the run is an opportunity to chat to the rest of the group, before settling in for your wine tasting experience. 

Tasting takes place back at Weobley Castle, a ruined building with rich history dating back to the 13th century, boasting a glimpse into medieval Welsh history.

ABOUT

 Tŷ Sawna is a wood-fired, beachside sauna experience based on the coastline of Oxwich Bay, Gower. We’re all about getting people outside, connecting to nature, and creating space to slow down, switch off, and feel really good.

At Love Trails, we’re bringing our self - guided Run to Sauna experience, swapping the finish line for fire, heat, and salty sea air. You’ll guide yourselves through the coastal landscape, using our trusty GPX, land at the saunas, and drop straight into that post-run exhale.

This experience includes a 55 minute sauna session at Tŷ Sawna. It is a self guided 10km run/hike from the festival site to Oxwich Bay's Tŷ Sawna. A GPX file of the route will be provided and shared in your E-Ticket. Please note you will need to make your own way back to the festival site after the sauna session.
