When people hear about a drug and alcohol-free festival, sometimes the immediate reaction is laughter, nervousness, disbelief and perhaps a ‘lol- no thanks’. If you’ve never been in this kind of environment before, that’s understandable. 

At Buddhafield, the focus is on what happens when you take these things away. It’s not about deprivation; it’s about creating space for a different experience. Genuine connection and joy are hallmarks of the festival, and it provides room to explore more challenging concepts and emotions, such as grief and global issues.
