Dolly Yoga at Barefoot Festival

We are heartbroken to hear of the passing of the absolute Queen that is Dolly Parton. ✨
Dolly was so much more than a musical icon. She was joy, kindness, resilience, humour, generosity and pure, unapologetic sparkle. 🌟
And this year at Barefoot Festival, we were so lucky to bring a little piece of that Dolly magic to the yoga field with Dolly Yoga!
Our wonderful Sue transformed into Dolly herself, complete with the hair, the sparkle and the attitude, and led a gloriously joyful yoga session where we downward-dogged our way through Dolly’s greatest hits.
It was everything we love about Barefoot - a little bit silly, a little bit magical, completely joyful and bringing people together through music, movement and laughter. Just as Dolly would do.
We feel incredibly grateful that we got to celebrate Dolly in our own wonderfully bonkers Barefoot way this year. 💕 And somehow, knowing we did, makes this year's Dolly Yoga feel even more precious.
So here's to Dolly - Thank you for the music, the laughter, the love and the reminder to always shine bright and be exactly who you are.
Put on a Dolly song. Have a little dance. Roll out your yoga mat. And when in doubt…
Just think, what would Dolly do?

Did you enjoy the Barefoot Festival Silent Disco?

When packing up after the festival, did a pair of our silent disco headphones accidentally find their way into your camping gear?

We’ve discovered that 9 pairs are still missing, and unfortunately the deposits don’t cover the cost of replacing them. We now face a replacement bill of £315.

If you’ve found a pair while unpacking, please don’t worry. We’d simply be incredibly grateful to have them back.
Please message us to arrange their return.
WhatsApp number attached to this post.

Thank you, Barefooters. 💚

Wow... what a weekend.
We're finally home from the field, running on very little sleep but with hearts absolutely overflowing.
To every single one of you who came, danced, laughed, created, volunteered, performed, traded, held space, shared kindness or simply brought your wonderful selves... thank you. You are what makes Barefoot so special, and we're incredibly grateful that you chose to spend your weekend with us.
A little favour to ask... if you accidentally went home with one of our silent disco headphones, please do get in touch. We really do need every pair back.
And one final thought...
If you're in a position to do so, we'd be deeply grateful if you would consider leaving your Sustainability Ticket refund with Barefoot rather than claiming it back.
It's been an incredibly challenging year for small independent festivals, and every refunded ticket that's left with us becomes an investment in the future of Barefoot. It helps us continue creating this little pocket of magic, connection and creativity for years to come.
Of course, if you need your refund, please do claim it with our thanks. But if you're able to leave it with us, please know that it will make a genuine difference, and we'll be immensely grateful for your support.
Thank you for believing in Barefoot. 💚

Here are the first few photos of many, from one of our photographers, the lovely Derren Harper. Keep watching our socials and we'll keep sharing!! Tag away and bathe in the glorious Barefoot afterglow!!
