This is another new one for us, and its set in the beautiful Larmer Tree Gardens .Heres the blurb..VERVE unfolds as a weekend of rhythm, ritual and a sense of discovery - where each day begins with gentle morning movement beneath open skies, breath syncing with birdsong and light filtering through the trees.
Across the lawns, you might find Qi Gong on the Main Lawn - echoing the slow, collective flow of public parks in China - a moment of stillness and connection.
The days open out into a rich weave of experience: thought-provoking talks, hands-on craft (a new addition this year), and spaces designed for both activation and integration. For the first time, we welcome the FOLDE Literary Garden - a dedicated area for words, reading, ideas and storytelling, offering a quieter layer to the weekend.
As the energy builds, VERVE shifts and expands - into ecstatic dance beneath the trees, late-night wandering, a silent disco under the stars, and the unexpected magic of two pianos waiting to be played somewhere on site.
All of this unfolds within the extraordinary setting of Larmer Tree Gardens - where peacocks wander freely, follies appear between the trees and every corner holds the potential for discovery.
With a carefully curated programme featuring festival-first acts and rare appearances you’re unlikely to encounter elsewhere, VERVE is about following what draws you and allowing the weekend to reveal itself as you move through it.
