We LOVE HEFF because it’s a chance to be together for the week as a family, each doing our own thing and happily pursuing our own interests.

We’ve all built friendships with people we only see at HEFF and love seeing them year after year.

As a workshop leader, I love the community and support for what we all offer. We really really enjoy it and are so looking forward to getting back to it.

For us, it’s always a lovely warm buzz being at HEFF. We love the atmosphere that is brought about by so many wonderful people from all walks of life, sharing their skills and knowledge so freely and willingly.

I love the big hive of activity when the workshops happen. Everyone excited to be participating or sometimes just chilling with each other.

I love the evening entertainments too, even though by this time I am practically exhausted, but still want to be a part of it and not miss out on the fun.

For us adults I really love the singing (just the best with Daisy!), cèilidh, yoga, mandala, and African dance workshops.

Also all the talks you can listen to are very informative & great for expanding your viewpoint. I especially love seeing older teens talk about their home ed experience.

Love the community feel and great chats around the fire with others at night are awesome.

Really looking forward to it and highly recommend HEFF! We love it!

HEFF was an incredible week for me. As we entered the show ground we were instantly greeted with happy little faces, children speeding around the grounds on their bikes and trikes, dyed hair, faces that they had clearly painted themselves. They looked so happy and free, it was a really lovely welcome.

There were all kinds of generous, kind, inclusive people. One lady offered me a tea leaf reading which, combined with all the other stuff that happened that week, proved to be monumental in my life. It was a very powerful week and left me with so many wonderful moments, from the Ceilidh and yoga to the friendships that were built.

So much variety and so many workshops. My kids’ favourites – the tie dying, finger knitting, singing & dancing on stage for the HEFF show, whittling, all the making workshops, orchestra, drama, dog training, ukulele & of course selling at the HEFF market.

They love running around free and safe with friends old & new and exploring workshops that they want to do. We always see a shift in their growth after HEFF.

I’ve been attending home education festivals for 8yrs and they are still a pivotal part of my year. Being in a group with our children as the focus creates opportunities for connection and learning for children and adults alike.

I have learnt African dance, Argentine tango, become a first aid coordinator, sung, crocheted and met home educated children of all ages and learnt from their journeys and experiences.

My children have made great friends and have been given opportunities to be part of the entertainment and been mentored by some amazing people. Thank you HEFF.

Such a privilege to have been invited and have so many people embrace the teachings of Kundalini yoga. Not only was it an honour to teach yoga but also the amazing workshops there were for the kids. Every hour on the hour! My kids enjoyed; sports, play dough, yoga, gymnastics, art, puppet making…the list goes on! And to top it up, the community and company was just so beautiful. So much unity, understanding of parenthood, non judgement and love.
