The Good Life Experience 2016 and 2017

The Good Life Experience 2016 was a blast. A huge thank you if you came and ,if you didn’t, then please feel warmly invited to see what the fuss is all about in 2017! Michael Rosen has already signed up for a very rare live appearance and DJ Norman Jay MBE is taking the slot so ably filled this year by Gilles Peterson on the Saturday night. Pencil the dates in your diary now: 15th, 16th, 17th September 2017. It’s a 2 hour train ride from London and less than an hour from Manchester and Liverpool .

The ethos is simple – fill your brains in the great outdoors. Be uplifted and inspired in the company of like-minded people, who are endlessly curious about this wonderful world of ours. Find goodness in ‘them’ rolling hills of Flintshire and comfort sitting around camp fires. Enjoy a craft beer or well brewed coffee whilst listening in to music from Senegal, the Balkans, Magnetic North, Hooton Tennis Club or a local Male Voice Choir.

… if you don’t fancy camping, there are plenty of hotels, guest houses and B&Bs nearby. Chester is the nearest big town, just over the border and an 8 minute taxi ride away.

5000 festival goers relished the treats we had in store for them in 2016 : From performances by Dr John Cooper Clarke, Jeremy Vine and explorer Ben Fogle to stories from Michael Morpurgo and Amy Liptrot. Pit building and cooking with Damian Clisby and Thomasina Miers  and bushcraft by Axe and Paddle. Endless free vintage fair rides, axe throwing and abseiling and a Max Richter performance on the Sunday which ended in a standing ovation.
