Body & Soul Festival 2023

Body & Soul returns for its 13th edition in 2023. 

Sitting in the stunning grounds of Ballinlough Castle, Body & Soul Festival transcends the classic notion of a music festival, offering an immersive experience for all the senses. Groundbreaking music artists, theatrical interludes, beautiful art installations, gastronomic experiences, fragrant cocktails, masquerade balls and indulgent wellbeing areas come together to provide a weekend of sensory exploration.

The truly independent festival has since its inception placed authenticity, creativity, relaxation and discovery at its centre. Revelry and recovery come together amongst the historical walled gardens, expansive meadows, natural amphitheatre and ancient woodlands.  Inspired by festivals such as Burning Man, its ethos has evolved out of a loyalty to Irish culture and celebrating the Celtic calendar, offering both a sanctuary and a damn fine party for an adventurous, like-minded community to come together and mark the Summer Solstice.
