Beltane Fire Gathering 2027 at Wild Heart Hill

Celebrate Beltane at Wild Heart Hill

2027

Celebrate the turning of the seasons as we gather once again on the ancient hillside to welcome the light of summer.

Following the magic of last year’s gathering, we return with an expanded and deepened Beltane experience, honouring the traditions of fire, community, and renewal, while gently evolving what we offer as this beautiful gathering continues to grow.

Rooted in ritual and alive with music, step into the spirit of Beltane, offer your wishes to the May fire, take part in the age‑old tradition of jumping the Beltane fire, move, dance, and connect as live music carries us into the evening.

As dusk falls, the hillside will once again come alive with firelight, in a truly magical experience, building on last year’s unforgettable mandala moment.

We’re thoughtfully exploring ways to enhance the atmosphere, deepen the ceremony, and elevate the overall experience, while staying true to the heart of what makes this gathering so unique - intimate, grounded, and community-led.

More details and special additions will be announced in the coming months.

Whether you’re returning or joining us for the first time, this is an invitation to pause, connect, and celebrate the turning of the wheel together.

A joyful and uplifting gathering of fire, music, magic, and community - as we leave winter behind and welcome the brightness of summer.

JUMPING OVER THE BELTANE FIRE

Guests aged 5+ are invited to take part in the age‑old tradition of jumping over the Beltane Fire. The fire will be narrow and low to the ground, requiring only a small leap.

All participants must read and sign a waiver on arrival, after which you'll receive a wristband that must be shown to staff before taking part. Guests aged 5–17 must be accompanied by an adult 21+.

This will be a lovely symbolic leap from winter into summer, welcoming protection, good luck, and prosperity for the year ahead.

ACCESSIBILITY

Our community event takes place outdoors on a grass field, where the ground may be uneven in some areas.

We will provide an eco-friendly easy access toilet on-site, along with priority parking located close to the event entrance for disabled guests. If you have any specific access needs, please contact us in advance so we can support you.

Attendance at the event constitutes consent to be photographed or recorded for use in promotional materials, marketing, and any other media produced by the event organisers.

If an individual does not wish to be included in any photography or filming, they must inform a member of the event staff upon arrival or at the earliest opportunity. Event staff will make reasonable efforts to accommodate these requests.

SUGGESTED ITEMS TO BRING

To help you settle into the spirit of the hill, we recommend bringing a camping chair, wet‑weather gear, warm layers, a torch, a picnic and any percussion items you may have to make some noise.

You’re joyfully invited to wear white clothing or white accessories, helping us weave a visually stunning tapestry across the hillside - a glowing celebration of Beltane’s energy and renewal.
