If, like me, you’re a history nerd you’re going to go cock-a-hoop for , just outside of Bristol.

Not only is it where Henry VIII and Anne Boylen stayed… not only can you stay in the same room Henry slept in… not only is it meant to be haunted by a royal princess…

…you can also hire Tudor costumes for the day and parade the grounds like a king and queen. I mean, HELLO! Dreams can come true!

Save this reel for later - this is one weekend experience you’re not going to want to forget.

If you know me, you’ll know every year I head to (known as one of the UK’s poshest festivals).

I adore Wilderness: it’s silly, hedonistic, family-friendly, peaceful, outrageous, surprising and so much more.

From raving in a wooded valley and discovering hidden bars, to listening to mind-stretching talks and getting your wellness hit with classes and experiences (not forgetting the odd celebrity you also bump into) - it has everything for four days of pure escapism.

But this year, I got sick on Day 2 😩 So I missed all the headliners (, - GUTTED) and spent the entire festival in our camper sleeping!

Fortunately, I’ve so much footage from the other years that I’ve been I was able to put together this montage for you to give you a flavour of the energy and joy that makes it one of my favs.

Maybe see you there next year? Ps: I’ll be bringing bottled water and not eating reheated risotto. Don’t ask.

48hrs wrapped in the deep quiet of the Herefordshire countryside staying at beautiful Kaya Rural Stays - what a tonic that was. On site, there are two cabins, for 2 adults: Sky House and Pumla; both sit in acres of wildflower meadows with expansive views over the hills and fields beyond.

Our cabin, Sky House, (yes, it looks like a yurt but is much more solid than that), had everything we needed to kick back and mute the outside world for a bit. A neat and well-equipped kitchen, a noiseless bedroom with an uninterrupted vista, a proper bathroom with an outdoor shower… books, games, outdoor blankets and cushions and lots of little treats scattered throughout (thanks for the local apple juice and freshly-picked flowers, guys).

We spent 2 days hopping between lazy coffees and dozing on the deck, watching the butterflies and moths dance around the wildflowers, reading under the cool of a nearby oak tree, and sipping bubbles in the night air as the stars came out. If only all weekends could be like this, right? BTW, Kaya has a few weekends still free if you fancy life looking like this for a bit?

⚓️What better way to cool down in the heat: your own houseboat on a private lake in Devon. Called Blackbird, this supremely slick glamping boat comes with sensational hotel-styled interiors, all-out-luxe creature comforts, VIP peace and quiet, and the thrill of waking up alongside heron fishing for their breakfast. I loved it ❤️

If you need a weekend away AND you’re a history nerd, a stay at is a must! So much fun, brilliant food, haunted rooms, costumes and general royal hoopla! Loved every moment! It’s not far from Bristol so easy to get to down or up the motorway or via train.
