✨✨Flash competition! ✨✨

💃We’ve teamed up with boutique Sussex music and wellness festival @neon.in.nature to offer one lucky person a weekend ticket to the three-day event this bank holiday.

💃But this isn’t your average festival: as well as being super-intimate (max 400 people), the festival is also all about making a difference - every penny of the proceeds goes to incredible global causes.

💃So, what can you expect?

💃Well, imagine a festival where you can kick off the day with a yoga class, dive into a cold plunge, unwind in a hot tub, and then groove to live and electronic music under the stars.

💃And that’s just the beginning. There’s also a swimming pool to dip into, climate and social justice talks to get inspired by, daily dress-up themes, and enough good vibes to keep you buzzing all weekend.

💃Fancy the chance to say goodbye to summer in style? To be in with a chance of winning, all you have to do is:

1️⃣ Make sure you’re following us @btntheinside and @neon.in.nature

2️⃣ Like this post

3️⃣ Tag someone you’d like to share the last dance of summer with in the comments

The closing date is 22nd August at 5pm.

Good luck! You can find out more about the festival on our website (link in bio).

🎨Last night we went to the launch and private view of the much-bigger-than-it-looks @brightonartspace.

🎨It’s jam-packed with gorgeous works from 15 resident artists. And we’d like to buy pretty much of all of it (damn that Prosecco budget).

🎨This is the first time the new (ish) studio has opened its doors to the public so it’s the perfect opportunity to check out the eclectic pieces, from fine art to collage and mixed media - and meet the artists in person.

🎨The gorgeous light-filled space on Regent Street is open this Saturday and Sunday (10am - 6pm).

🎨For more inspo on what to do this weekend, check out our weekend guide (link in bio)!
