ABOUT

The idea for Out & Wild started during COVID. We had no idea we would end up creating the UK's biggest Festival for LGBTQ+ women and those who are non-binary!

​

Polly and Becky, the Co-founders met. Polly had been on the Pride in London Board and  felt there was space for a festival that was designed specifically for LGBTQ+ women and those who were non-binary.

​

Becky had always dreamt of a 'Pride in the Country' with more of a focus on outdoor experiences.

​

Our research told us that the audience wanted a festival where they could connect through shared experiences, with a real focus on wellness.

​

We then got lucky and found an amazing festival site in Pembrokeshire. This has everthing we needed to run areas focused on music, comedy, wellness, workouts, spoken word, talks, sport, hikes and workshops.

​

After a successful pilot event in 2021, where the attendees begged us to launch Out & Wild, we ran our first full Festival in June 2022.

​

It was a massive success and we are proud to have doubled attendance in 2023.

​

We run Out & Wild Festival in Pride Month (June) and are also growing new events, including a Pride Swim, a Menopause Cafe and smaller weekends away.
