Bee Wild Wales Adventure Weekend June 2025Experience the adventure of living wild at our annual retreat

Join us on the 20th - 22nd June for our Annual Bee Wild Wales Weekend

Whether you are a seasoned Bee Wilder or have never done anything like this before, why not come and join in the fun with an action-packed, alcohol-free weekend with the Bee Sober community?  This could be your once in a lifetime chance to make some new friends and meet up with like-minded people on a weekend packed with creativity, fun, nature, adventure and tranquility.  We know first-hand how hard it is to make friends as an adult, to go away solo, or to try something new, and this can be even harder when trying to do it sober.  This is why Bee Sober have created  Bee Wild weekends to make this next step of your sober curious adventure just a little bit easier.

We are all about making friends, having fun, and accepting everyone for exactly who they want to be.  Our Bee Wild weekend is all about trying things you wouldn't normally get to try, so we can help you find the fun in sober living.   All you need to do is Bee Brave and show up as you are to this safe and non-judgmental environment where we all get it. 

Lisa and Alex's lifelong friendship is the building blocks upon which the Bee Sober community and ethos is built.  We realise that having friends who just get it, makes all the difference to staying sober, strong and happy in life, and we want you to find this special place too.

Bee Wild is held annually and in 2025 we will be holding it in Wales, on the Gower Peninsula, Britain’s first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

We’ve got you covered with a bit of TLC and outdoor fun. The weekend will kick off early Friday evening, finishing lunchtime Sunday.  YHA Gower is an ideal base for us all to explore the area's coves, woods, moorland and castles. During this event, we will have exclusive use of the hostel, with a lounge area, kitchen and dining room, and private garden. There are toilets and showers available at the venue.  The venue has capacity to sleep up to 40 adults in shared bunk room accommodation (including the organisers and staff).   If you book on with a friend, please drop us an email and we will do our best to allocate you in a room together, however we cannot guarantee this and although at the start of the weekend your room mate might start out as a stranger, we guarantee you won't end the weekend this way. There are many people who come alone and they will also be in the same boat. 

Book early to avoid disappointment!  We are sure this is going to be a sell-out.
