Our Venues
We offer two authentic venues for hire, ideal for holistic and wellness professionals, organisations, or individuals seeking a dedicated healing space.
Herstmonceux Venue
Our Herstmonceux venue, set in the quiet countryside with excellent transport connections, provides a truly unique space. Here you’ll find a lakeside wood-fired hot tub, a 20ft wigwam, a 6mX 4m marquee and multiple spacious bell tents. The venue offers a stunning natural backdrop at both sunrise and sunset, making it the perfect place to align with nature’s rhythm, foster grounding, and deepen practices such as meditation, sound baths, and other activities. It suits wellness gatherings, retreats, personal healing journeys, team-building days and activities, and much more!
25-acre Natural Coniferous and Deciduous Woodland with Strong Healing Energy
Our venue is unique amongst healing spaces with multiple strong natural energy ley lines intersecting our 3 camps, with open fire and gas barbecue cooking, situated at root, heart and crown chakra respectively to facilitate deep healing and restructuring of your energy body. This makes it an excellent suit for like-minded holistic healers and practitioners to come and adopt their skills and teachings in our setting. We offer both daytime, nighttime and day-and-nighttime hires where you can experience a full nature immersion, resetting your nervous system and decreasing your cortisol levels to improve your functionality, mental clarity and overall wellbeing. It is from this desire to offer true effective healing to the people that Ganesha Retreats was born, and this is where our community stands together.
Our wonderful canvas roundhouse is also perfect for yoga, healing activities, sound baths or any other sonic/musical activities so do feel free to bring your own instruments if you have them and want to vibe with your group. If you are looking for a comprehensive overnight experience, we have fantastic accommodation on site as cabins, bell tents and tree-hung, flat bottomed hammocks as well as enough space at camps for extra tents which we can accommodate for.
We can offer discounts on monthly booking subscriptions as well as bespoke return hires so get in touch today to find out how we can best support you with your own practices and journey.
All our water is sourced directly from a natural spring on site, offering unique health benefits when compared to standard tap water. Because we believe a strong connection with nature is essential, we ask that you help us protect this woodland by disposing of waste in the designated bins, using our ecofriendly soaps provided and keeping the environment free from litter.
We are dedicated to rewilding our woodland and restoring it to its natural deciduous state, thereby increasing its biodiversity lost to the conifer plantations introduced in the late 1940s. To protect the ecosystem, we maintain clearly defined pathways to prevent soil compaction, while gradually replanting a diverse range of native trees and plants. This work is guided by a 200-year restoration plan to responsibly phase out non-indigenous conifers and return the woodland to its thriving natural balance.
