Wild in the Woods is our theme for Hedonism 2026.
A Gay/Bi retreat for like minded men to come together & enjoy wellness activities, fun and games and some exclusive naughty StableMaster play.
Located deep in the Staffordshire Moorlands close to Stoke on Trent.
The actual location and directions will be shared with ticket holders closer to the time.
“Among leafy hills lies a secluded valley, a secret lowland plain encircled by woodland.”
Imagine a place where the only sound you hear is Birdsong, where wildlife and nature are our hosts.
No road noise, no public access. A purely private clothing optional space.

We think you’ll love our Venue for Wild in the woods.
It is dominated by three large fields which provides a substantial camping area capable of accommodating large groups, surrounded by woodland.

The site is situated along a long private gated track with ample car parking. The gate has a code to enter so the site is secure and away from onlookers.
