The day
Programme
Sunday 18 October 2026 · 09:15 – 17:00, with registration and wristbands from 09:00 to 09:30. Sessions run across four rooms plus the Discovery Zone, so you can build your own day. Everything in the Discovery Zone runs all day rather than to a running order. The Snug running order is still being finalised, and some sessions have limited numbers and are booked in person on the day, first come, first served. Final timings are printed in your welcome pack on arrival.

A ticket gives you entry to the festival for the whole day, but a few sessions — including the somatic yoga with Nahid de Belgeonne, the group hypnotherapy with Laura Dodsworth and the tech demonstrations — have limited numbers. Please sign up in person at registration on the day, first come, first served.

Food & refreshments
Ticket price does not include refreshments — we've kept it low to keep the day inclusive. Food is available at the Talbot and at nearby cafés and pubs in Oundle across a range of budgets.
Wristbands
Please arrive between 9:00 and 9:30am to collect your wristband. Wristbands must be worn throughout the day for entry to sessions and the Discovery Zone.
