After one long lap around the Sun, since our last soul cleanse, we were in serious need of some Noisily magic to rejuvenate our spirits. Itching to retreat from the city and towards the balancing energy of the midlands for a weekend of revitalisation, realignment and raving, we headed to the ancient site of Barkestone Woods to bask in Mother Nature and witness the lush greenery become enchanted once again by the mystical atmosphere, wonderous array of arts, creativity, music, food, healing and spirituality that combine to create our favourite festival.
