New Year's Day Celebration 2025

 It’s that time of year again and we’re beyond thrilled to invite you to our annual New Year's Day Celebration.

Are you ready to join community and be part of a truly extraordinary New Year’s Day gathering ~ a unique and powerful celebration in a breath-taking 18th century estate house located next to Blaise Castle in north Bristol.
A place so unique it’s never hosted anything quite like this before. 

This isn’t just an event—it’s an experience, lovingly curated to create memories that will stay with you forever.

Unlike anything else you’ll find this New Year’s.

Imagine this…

✨ A stunning, unique venue filled with historic charm and elegance ~ the perfect backdrop for a powerful prayer of authentic connection, community, celebration, dance, music, health, prosperity and more

✨ An experience designed for all ~ child friendly, so the whole family can join in the magic

✨ A lineup that’s as vibrant as it is diverse, featuring Ecstatic Dance, Live Music, DJ set, live Sound Baths, Afro-Brazilian Drumming & Dance, Acro Yoga, Capoeira, Ecstatic Tai Chi and more

✨ Each room in the house will be transformed into unique beautiful spaces to serve different needs ~ Main Space, Workshop Space, Cuddle and Chill Space, Kids Space, Bar and Café Space, Outdoor Sauna Space and beautiful grounds to get fresh air

Why This Experience Is Priceless

We’ve poured immense care into crafting this experience. Everything, from the extraordinary venue to the rich variety of offerings, has been intentionally chosen to elevate your New Year’s experience with community to something truly unparalleled.

Creating an experience of this calibre takes a significant amount of love, energy and financial input. From the costs of hiring this exquisite venue, to the meticulous attention to sound quality, workshops and family-friendly activities ~ every detail has been designed to make this celebration unforgettable.

While the ticket price may feel a touch above what you’re used to, we want you to know that every penny goes toward creating something extraordinary and allows us to pay our facilitators and artists ethically.
