Kicking off with Swim The Lochs!
Join Sarah for a Rise & Refuel Breakfast Swim 🌞
Saturday 25th and Sunday 26th July from 08:00 each day

Start your festival morning the best way possible with fresh forest air, cold water and good company!

You’ll begin with a gentle walk through the trees to the water’s edge before easing into an invigorating guided wild swim surrounded by the stunning scenery of the Galloway Forest.

Afterwards you will warm up with a gentle walk back to the Hive for a shared breakfast. A relaxed and welcoming session perfect for both experienced wild swimmers and those newer to cold water.
