THE VILLAGE
Ongoing Activities
TREASURE HUNT
ACROSS THE FESTIVAL
Arrive early and kick things off with our festival-wide Treasure Hunt — a playful invitation to explore every corner of the site. Follow clues, wander off the beaten path, and uncover hidden surprises scattered across the grounds.
Along the way you might discover free cocktails / drinks / coffee / food / fire spin lessons / tattoos / consensual massage moments / and more gifted by both the festival, vendors, and fellow attendees.
It’s part adventure, part social spark — designed to get you moving, mingling, and discovering the magic woven throughout the festival.
Sauna
Step into the warmth of our festival sauna, a cosy retreat for relaxation, connection, and rejuvenation. Whether you’re unwinding after a day of dancing or seeking a quiet moment to recharge, the sauna offers a unique space to detox, share stories, and embrace the calming heat. Perfect for deepening your festival experience in a truly grounding way.
FOREPLAY
Foreplay is our newest stage at Naked In The Trees, and will be the heart of connection, expression and playful energy in The Village — where workshops, live music and social experiences come together in an open, joyful space. You’ll find everything from Queer Hour celebrating queer joy and community, to movement-based sessions like Twerkshop and Contact Improv, flirt-forward experiences like Speed Dating, and creative live performances that bring rhythm, connection and expression to life. Activities on Foreplay are designed to help you connect with others, explore movement and presence, and enjoy the unique blend of music and interactive workshop energy that makes the festival come alive.

THE ART EXCHANGE
Sell your artwork to Naked In The Trees 🎨 The Art Exchange is a pop-up gallery and marketplace in The Village, celebrating creativity from within our community. Guests are invited to bring their own artworks to exhibit and sell, transforming the space into a living, evolving gallery across the festival.
There’s no need to register or tell us in advance — simply arrive with your work, framed and ready to hang. You can see the hooks artworks will be hung from in the pictures above. Artists will be asked to leave their contact details and the price they’d like to set for each piece for once at the festival.
The Art Exchange will be managed by Jami Page, ensuring artworks are displayed beautifully throughout the weekend. Come share your creativity, support fellow artists, and maybe take a piece of the festival home with you.

The team from Know Your Stuff will be set up in The Village for anyone wanting to check the purity of a substance.
Know Your Stuff is a free and legal drug checking service.
We also have a Medic Tent in The Village for anyone in need of assistance.
There is also a Care Space in The Village for those in need of a safe place to recoup.
Jaguar House
