Our Story

The Oh Shala Festival came together through a group of people who wanted to bring more sense of a community to the Marlow area. We realised quickly that the surrounding areas of Buckinghamshire and Berkshire had hidden treasures of wellbeing that we wanted to share far and wide. We would consider the festival more of a ‘gathering’ keeping it grassroots, local and about connection.

We hope to offer people a new way to look at wellbeing in a safe, non judgmental space that allows you to express however you need.

So here is our celebration of all things Yoga, Meditation, Sound, Dance, Art and Therapy within a family oriented, sober & vegan space. Each year we highlight the work of local charities with 2022 raising over £1000 for Marlow Refugee Action and 2023 we are working with One Can Trust - Buckinghamshires Food Bank.

This weekend takes a team of incredible people including volunteers, facilitators, local businesses and the land we are lucky to have our festival on, Chiltern Retreats Camping.

We welcome you all with open arms to embrace community and celebrate nature,
