What is Soul Circus?

Soul Circus is a vibrant and intimate yoga & wellbeing festival where our stretch tents and our sister company Stunning Tents tipis look right at home in the beautiful Gloucestershire countryside. We have provided our stretch tents for this annual event since its inception in 2016 and it’s something we look forward to every summer. The Cotswolds, a focus on wellness, fun and rustic tipis, lots of yoga, and lashings of glitter – what more could you ask for!?

Wellbeing and sustainability were at the forefront of the creative minds of Ella & Roman Wroath, who started the festival after deciding to create the first UK festival to feature yoga and music, while providing an environment to focus on the self.

Ella, who started her journey as a yogi when she opened a yoga studio in Cheltenham with her sister, wanted wellbeing to be the focal point of the festival experience. Soul Circus hosts a variety of yoga sessions, including hot, sunrise, restorative, aerial, and even disco yoga classes to get everyone moving!

Each year the festival brings together a number of local, sustainable and health-focused brands who can showcase their locally sourced nutritious foods, present their stylish sports & fitness wear, and share information about their fitness programmes and gyms.

What goes on?

Masters of yoga host a variety of sunrise sessions, aerial classes, and mindfulness workshops by day, and by night, DJs set the forest alight with mesmerising light shows and exhilarating sets, and festival-goers round off the day glamping in yurts.

Suppliers

The festival is supported by a fantastic array of suppliers all linked to healthy eating, yoga and fitness, which is what makes the festival so considered and unique. A selection of the suppliers are listed below.

“The feeling after [the festival] made it all worthwhile! The concept of bringing everyone together – family, friends and like-minded people celebrating yoga, well-being and friendship. It’s not very often that that happens and when you get that feeling you realise how many amazing people you’re surrounded by. We created something really unique this year and owe everything to all the teachers, the team and everyone who supported us”
