I had a Rookery booking last year — is this the same thing?
Yes! The Retreat is the evolution of The Rookery. Same spirit, expanded experience. We've added new offerings and reimagined the space, but the core — a place to slow down and recharge — remains the same.
Is The Retreat accessible?
We're working to make The Retreat as accessible as possible. If you have specific accessibility needs, please get in touch ahead of the festival so we can help make arrangements.
Are Retreat experiences included in my Boomtown ticket?
Retreat experiences are booked and paid for separately from your festival ticket. You can browse and book all available sessions through our Acuity booking page.
What should I bring to the spa or sauna?
Bring your swimwear and a towel. We'll have everything else you need on site. Arrive 10 minutes before your slot to get settled in.
What should I bring to a workshop?
Just bring yourself — all materials and tools are provided. For clay and silver workshops, we recommend wearing something you don't mind getting a bit messy. You'll take your finished piece home with you.
Can I cancel or reschedule my booking?
You can manage your booking through Acuity Scheduling. Cancellations and changes are subject to our booking policy — check your confirmation email for details, or contact us directly.
Do I need to book in advance?
We strongly recommend booking in advance as sessions fill up quickly, especially massage treatments and creative workshops. A limited number of walk-up slots may be available on the day, subject to availability.
Where is The Retreat located on site?
The Retreat is nestled in its own dedicated area within the Boomtown grounds. You'll find it signposted from the main walkways. Look for the bell tents and follow the calm.
