The highly anticipated Bear Grylls’ Gone Wild Festival is back for 2024, promising an unforgettable family adventure. This year, the festival will take place at two incredible locations:
1. Holkham Hall in Norfolk (8-11th August): Nestled in the picturesque Norfolk countryside, Holkham Hall provides a stunning backdrop for outdoor enthusiasts and families seeking adventure.
2. Powderham Castle in Devon (22-25th August): Set against the historic Powderham Castle, this venue offers a unique blend of history, natural beauty, and excitement.
Despite the challenges faced by the festival industry, Gone Wild has defied the odds. Operational costs have surged, and 172 festivals have shuttered since 2019. However, Gone Wild’s success story continues, attracting families eager for a memorable experience. With over 150 adventure activities, captivating entertainment, and a family-friendly atmosphere, Gone Wild stands out from traditional music-centric festivals.
Founders Bear Grylls and Oliver Mason envisioned a festival that combined family adventure with the thrill of a music event. Since its inception in 2021, Gone Wild has grown exponentially, expanding from one site to two. Bear Grylls emphasizes the festival’s commitment to inspiring families to embrace the outdoors together.
Oliver Mason echoes this sentiment, proud of how Gone Wild weathered the industry storm. As 43 festivals folded in 2024, Gone Wild stood strong, ready to deliver another unforgettable event. Attendees can expect high-adrenaline activities like abseiling, water sports, and inspiring talks by adventurers Bear Grylls and Sir Ranulph Fiennes. The nights come alive with live performances from top artists, including Sam Ryder, The Feeling, Jake Shears, and McFly.
