THE OASIS

A quiet corner designed to help you slow down and switch off from the festival rush. The Oasis hosts gentle, mindful creative workshops where you can try easy techniques to ease stress, relax your mind and create a little calm for yourself.

Discover what’s on offer below.

Your Host

Briony May Williams

After years of baking at home and cultivating her creativity and skill, Briony first came to the public’s attention as she launched onto our screens during nine stressful weeks in the tent on the 2018 series of The Great British Bake Off on Channel 4.

Progressing through the competition to the semi-final, Briony’s humour and warmth, coupled with her resilience and ingenuity saw her become a firm favourite with the audience.

Light Up Your Own Candle

X

Discover the art of candle making in this hands on, hour long workshop. You'll learn what makes a good candle (and what to avoid) before getting stuck into blending your own fragrance oils. Create a candle in a tin plus a wax melt cake to take home, all made with 100% pure soy wax and premium scents. Whether you're a complete beginner or already candle obsessed, it's a relaxing, fragrant escape from the festival buzz and a lovely keepsake to remember your weekend by.

Think you can’t Paint?

X

Join Penny at SpaFest for a beautifully freeing art experience designed for everyone, no skills, no pressure, no rules. Using her unique dual handed painting technique, you’ll be guided through an intuitive process that helps unlock creativity, build confidence and reconnect with your inner self.

There’s no image to copy and no expectation to be “good”, just the joy of creating in the moment. Watch as colours, movement and instinct come together on canvas, resulting in a piece that’s entirely your own.

Whether you’re looking to unwind, try something new or simply carve out a mindful moment during the festival, this is your chance to let go and explore.

Open all weekend, so book ahead to secure your spot or drop in when creativity calls.

Dragon Making Workshop

X

At this workshop, you will make three dragons from artificial greenery. My passion is to look at ordinary materials and transform them into something completely different. We will start by making a freshly hatched dragon, and after that, you can choose which two other dragons you would like to make. Maybe a dragon that likes to hide in the Christmas tree, or an elegant dragonfly dragon. I can promise that this workshop is one of a kind!

All materials are provided, and no experience is needed.
Each session lasts 45 minutes.
Please choose your preferred time slot when booking.

Each ticket is for one participant and includes materials to make three dragons. Children under the age of 16 need to have a parent present with their own ticket. Please note that you will also need an entry ticket to CarFest (carfest.org) to participate in this workshop.

Children are very welcome to join in, but tools such as pliers are used and some of the materials, including wires and metal dragon wings, require careful handling. Small parts are present. The finished dragon is for decoration and is not intended to be a toy.

Feel Rejuvenated with a Sonic Massage

This 60 minute full body treatment enhances circulation and promotes muscle repair, leaving you lighter, stronger, and recharged for more festival fun.

Reflexology
Fully clothed and completely relaxed, enjoy the power of gentle pressure applied to your feet or hands, your choice!

Roxiva Light & Sound Therapy
This therapeutic journey promotes blissful feelings of awe, curiosity and wonder as you let go into a world of colourful, moving kaleidoscopic patterns synchronised to music. And in this state, new perspectives and ideas can emerge, sometimes consciously and sometimes unconsciously.
