🔥 THIS JANUARY LONG WEEKEND… THE PHOENIX RISES AGAIN. 🔥Our vision is to build the world our children deserve together as a community 🫶🥳❤️🐦🔥
There are gatherings you attend.
And then there are communities you become part of.
Golden Phoenix has never been about creating the biggest event. It has always been about creating the kind of world we wish already existed—a place where music, art, nature and community exist in harmony. A place where children are free to explore, strangers become lifelong friends, creativity is celebrated, and everyone leaves having contributed something to the experience.
After believing I wouldn’t be capable of creating another Golden Phoenix for years to come, life surprised me.
I discovered a place so breathtaking, so magical, and so perfectly aligned with everything we’ve always dreamed of creating that I knew immediately it had the potential to become the forever home of Golden Phoenix.
So…
We’re doing it.
This isn’t simply another Golden Phoenix.
It’s the next evolution.
Built from every lesson we’ve learned, every challenge we’ve overcome, and every unforgettable moment we’ve shared together.
Over five incredible days we’ll transform this extraordinary property into an immersive world unlike anything we’ve ever created before.

🌿 A DIFFERENT KIND OF GATHERING
Golden Phoenix began as a simple idea.
A backyard summer gathering with extraordinary music, incredible production and a genuine, family-friendly atmosphere where everyone felt like they belonged.
That vision hasn’t changed.
If anything, we’ve stripped it back even further.
Rather than trying to become a bigger festival, we’re choosing to become a stronger community.
The electronic music won’t begin until 1pm each day.
Instead, our mornings are reserved for the things that truly matter.
Coffee by the lake.
Swimming.
Acoustic music.
Workshops.
Kids exploring nature.
Meaningful conversations.
Shared breakfasts.
Quiet moments.
Because we want the mornings to become just as memorable as the nights.
It also gives our artists, crew and volunteers the opportunity to rest, reconnect and actually enjoy the gathering they’re helping create.
Because Golden Phoenix has always been about much more than the dancefloor.
It’s about the people.
⸻
✨ A WORLD WAITING TO BE EXPLORED
🏰 Two Stages. One Literal Castle.
At the heart of Golden Phoenix sits a real castle, home to two unique stages filled with immersive production, world-class sound, breathtaking visuals and carefully curated artists.
Every stage tells its own story.
Every space has its own personality.
Every night becomes another chapter.
⸻
🪷 The Zen Temple
Nestled beside a beautiful lotus pond sits our sanctuary for rest, wellness and reflection.
Throughout the weekend you’ll discover yoga, meditation, workshops and experiences designed to help you reconnect with yourself before returning to the dancefloor refreshed.
⸻
🏖️ The Lake
The heart of our community.
We’ll be transforming the lake into a vibrant gathering place with a beachfront, floating pontoons and an intimate acoustic stage overlooking the water.
This is where mornings come alive.
Coffee.
Swimming.
Conversations.
Acoustic performances.
Children playing.
Friends reconnecting.
And yes…
The legendary Golden Phoenix Slip ’N Slide returns. 💦
⸻
🧚 The Fairy House
A space where imagination has no limits.
Inspired by whimsical worlds like the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party and beyond, this evolving wonderland will continue to grow through the creativity of everyone who contributes.
⸻
🎨 The Gallery
An immersive exhibition celebrating the incredible visual artists whose creativity has helped shape the worlds, stories and characters that make Golden Phoenix what it is.
⸻
🌿 The Shire
Perhaps the space we’re most excited to create.
Our dedicated children’s village surrounds a real hobbit house, complete with an underground tunnel leading into a magical world built entirely for imagination, adventure and play.
At Golden Phoenix, children aren’t simply welcome.
They’re part of the heart of our community.
⸻
🛍️ Markets, Food & Community
Beautiful market stalls.
Amazing food.
Specialty coffee.
Communal kitchens.
Shared meals.
Some of our favourite memories have never happened in front of a stage.
They’ve happened while cooking dinner together, sharing breakfast with strangers who quickly became friends, and gathering around a table after sunrise.
That’s the culture we’re nurturing.
⸻
❤️ INTENTIONALLY SMALL
Golden Phoenix will be strictly limited to just 350 people.
Not because we couldn’t make it bigger.
Because we don’t want to.
We believe the magic comes from recognising familiar faces, making genuine friendships and creating a culture where everyone contributes to the atmosphere.
Once all 350 places have been secured, registrations will close.
Protecting our community will always come before increasing capacity.
⸻
🤝 A COMMUNITY FIRST
Golden Phoenix is built on a simple philosophy.
Community before commerce.
Respect each other.
Support artists.
Care for the land.
Celebrate creativity.
Leave every place better than you found it.
Look after your neighbours.
Build lifelong friendships.
Create the world we wish existed.
Golden Phoenix has always grown through genuine human connection rather than mass promotion, and we intend to keep it that way.
⸻
🎟️ HOW TO JOIN
This public event is simply an invitation to discover what Golden Phoenix is all about.
Attendance is not organised through this event page.
