What is The Broughton Immersion?
Broughton Sanctuary, featured in National Geographic's "Cool List", spans 2,500 acres on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales. Held by the same family for over 900 years, it is now undergoing a remarkable transformation as nature returns to the land. At its heart sits Avalon, a state-of-the-art wellbeing centre surrounded by ancient and newly planted woodland, rolling meadows, lakes, wetlands and thriving habitats. For four days, this extraordinary landscape is yours to explore while staying in beautiful accommodation across the Sanctuary—from the historic grandeur of Broughton Hall to the warmth and charm of the Retreat Houses.
Enjoy woodland dining beneath the trees, sing around the fire with new friends, rest and unwind in the Avalon Pool Suite, forage with a guide, pause beneath ancient trees, dance in the Fire Temple, swim in wild water, walk the labyrinth, volunteer on our nature recovery project, or simply be, with a book or sketchbook overlooking the rewilding landscape.
Hosted by Roger and Paris Tempest, stewards of Broughton Sanctuary, the four days weave together movement, pilgrimage, creativity, nature connection, performance and embodied practice.
