There'll also be more family activities with the 'Space of Love' in a marquee, a quiet area of peace healing, arts & creativity, where you can enjoy workshops such as yoga, reggae sound baths, meditations, communal drumming sessions and active art exhibitions, with the workshops for both children and adults alike. There'll also be some carefully handpicked stalls to explore offering many services like healing and massage, while each morning between 9am and 11am the festival will have a variety of meditation, yoga and sound therapies.

Also new is a woodland area hosted by WNBC Radio - Alex Peterson and friends including Jah Wobble and Youth (Killing Joke in Dub) & Gaudi.
