Whirl-y-Fayre 2024

It’s happening! We can confirm that Whirl-y-Fayre has been given a big thumbs up from licensing for the weekend of 19-21 July 2024. We have found a new site on the beautiful Isle of Purbeck in Dorset. It features two well built adjacent barns which offer the closest thing to an ideal Whirl-y-Gig club venue that you are ever likely to find in an intimate and private field surrounded by stunning views toward Corfe Castle and beyond. We will be bringing you all the news as it becomes available but until then, put this date in your diary and start counting the days to the next Whirl-y-Fayre!

Whirl-y-Fayre is more than just a small festival and more than just a dance event. From beyond the realms of ordinary reality it connects with the sublime and the magic of life. Whirl-y-Fayre is a beautiful gem, a global dance event with humanity at heart, where we connect with earth sun, moon and each other. It was voted ‘Best Family Festival’ by readers of Green Parent magazine in 2016 and was winner of best Small festival in the South West Prestige Awards of 2022, Whirl-y-Fayre is recognised as a heart-warming event where close friendships blossom and new discoveries flourish. Whirl-y-Fayre is like no other, the biggest and best little festival where every element blends together to create a unique vibration sustained by love and laughter.  It is where we can be free!
