Weekend of wellness as 2026 Summer Solstice programme unveiled in St Andrews

Fife Sports and Leisure Trust is inviting people to mark the longest day of the year at the Summer Solstice Yoga Festival, which returns to East Sands Leisure Centre, St Andrews, from from Friday, June 19 to Sunday 21st.

Set against the stunning coastline, the three-day festival offers a unique opportunity to reconnect, recharge and embrace the summer solstice through movement, mindfulness, music and community.

Following the success of last year’s festival, which attracted more than 550 attendances and received overwhelmingly positive feedback, the 2026 programme features an expanded timetable of wellbeing experiences suitable for all abilities.

Festival-goers can choose from full weekend tickets (£80), day tickets (£30 for Friday or Sunday, and £60 for Saturday), or single-event tickets (£10).

The full weekend ticket gives participants access to an extensive programme of classes, activities and experiences, all in one stunning coastal setting.

Highlights from the 2026 programme include a silent disco, sunrise and sunset yoga, live music by the campfire, and a coldwater dip led by Julie Wilson Nimmo, author and host of Jules and Greg’s Wild Swim.

There is also an open-air stretch tent with Outsider Events, pilates, sound bath and guide relaxation experience, music al theatre fitness while Scottish Seaside Sauna will offer a 50% discount on all sessions across the weekend.

The festival will be led by a team of experienced instructors and wellbeing professionals from across Fife, creating a welcoming and inclusive environment for everyone.

Evelyn Crichton, fitness experience lead, said: “The Summer Solstice Yoga Festival is all about bringing people together to move, relax and celebrate wellbeing in one of the most beautiful coastal locations in Scotland.

“There really is something for everyone across the weekend, from calming yoga and mindfulness sessions to fun, energetic activities and opportunities to simply slow down and enjoy the atmosphere.”

The festival is expected to attract high demand, and early booking is recommended via Eventbrite.
