Couples, partners and friends looking to spend meaningful time together can head to the Avalon Centre on King Street in Glastonbury for the Valentines Couples Massage Workshop. Hosted by massage therapists Ellise and Cecilia, the session invites pairs to slow down and discover conscious touch without needing any prior massage experience.

The day focuses on establishing communication, boundaries and safety before moving on to simple, nurturing full-body massage techniques to take home. Both partners will have the opportunity to take turns giving and receiving, exploring trust, consent and the art of surrender through loving touch. Attendees are asked to wear comfortable clothing and bring along two large towels per couple.

A series of community gatherings across Somerset is bringing people together for movement, music and shared reflection. In Glastonbury, St Benedicts Church hosts the Community Grief Tending Ritual – Honouring Our Ancestors. Organised by the Sacred Death Centre alongside Eartha Love and Jason Kalidas, the event offers somatic movement, breathwork, journalling and traditional Raag music featuring the bamboo flute. It is open to anyone carrying sorrow, whether mourning a death, an ended relationship or a life change.

Meanwhile, The Assembly Rooms in Frome welcomes PRANAFREQS: ELEVENSES | SUNDAY SESSION: FROME, an indoor morning event designed without shoes, chat or technology.

Further west, Nettlecombe Court near Taunton will hold the WINTER WARMER CONTACT IMPROVISATION FESTIVAL 2026. Open to beginner and experienced dancers alike, the residential gathering offers daily intensive classes, movement, singing, communal organic vegetarian meals and sauna access.
