Save the date! This May, Wasing Estate’s beautiful ancient woodlands are playing host to Well Read — a brand-new literary festival with a fresh twist. It's all about celebrating stories, sparking ideas, and reconnecting with nature in one of the most magical outdoor settings around.

Well Read isn’t your typical book festival. Set among blooming rhododendrons and towering trees, it’s a place where writers, readers, nature lovers, and wellness seekers come together. Expect inspiring talks, thought-provoking conversations, and plenty of chances to slow down, breathe deeply, and just enjoy the moment.

Whether you're into books, forest walks, or just looking for something a bit different, Well Read is the place to connect with ideas, nature, and like-minded people who care about living with the earth, not just on it.

We even have some special tickets avalibale for the festival and an overnight stay with tickets, bed and breakfast included!
