TICKETS ON SALE NOW! • FEAST WITH US ON OCT 25, 2026 •
FEAST is not your typical event. It's a one-day experience designed to shift something in you. Five extraordinary speakers. Raw, unfiltered conversations. Live music. Incredible food. Every detail intentionally crafted to challenge the way you think, expand what's possible and remind you that the life you're building gets to be bigger than the one you've settled for. It's not a conference. It's not a retreat. It's something entirely its own.
For entrepreneurs, new moms, professionals and anyone navigating change, whether you're building, rebuilding, growing or asking yourself what's next. If you're craving fresh perspective, meaningful connection and the courage to think bigger about your life and work, you'll feel right at home.
This isn't a day of sitting back and taking notes. It's the room that changes what happens next. It’s the room that makes you feeeeel something.
What's Included
An investment in yourself.
A Gift Bag You'll Actually Be Excited About
Forget the handful of flyers and tiny samples. You'll leave with a beautifully curated gift bag filled with thoughtful products from brands we genuinely love and are proud to introduce you to.
The Conversations That Change Everything
Five extraordinary speakers sharing the stories that shaped them, the lessons they learned along the way and the moments that changed the direction of their lives. Honest conversations that challenge your thinking, expand your perspective and stay with you long after the day is over.
A Table Worth Gathering Around
Beautiful, seasonal food. Thoughtfully curated drinks. The kind of meal that makes you slow down, look up and have the conversations you didn't know you needed. Because connection has always been at the heart of FEAST.
The Room
More than 100 women choosing to invest in themselves. Founders. Mothers. Creatives. Leaders. Women in the middle of becoming. The kind of room where friendships are formed, collaborations begin and one conversation can quietly change the direction of your life.
The structure of a conference
The flow of a retreat
The vibe of a dinner party
This is the room you don’t want to miss
Meet Your Host
Emily is a Yorkshire-born storyteller, experience designer and lifelong connector. Founder of Dine Wilder and co-founder of Graze Wilder, ventures rooted in beauty, community and the power of bringing people together.
She’s not just designing tablescapes - she’s designing feeling. The kind that lingers long after the event ends.
Emily believes magic happens when you put yourself in the room. She’s been in them all - pulling from the best of each space, each experience, each conversation - and turning it into something entirely new.
For her, it’s about moments, stories and connections that shift something in you. Her favourite book is, of course, Unreasonable Hospitality.
“You won’t change your life working from home or sat on the couch. You change it in the discomfort - outside your comfort zone, meeting new people, putting yourself in the rooms that stretch you.”

What to Bring & Wear

Wear what makes you feel confident, vibrant and fully you.
We’ve got a boot check for a reason - come in your coolest sneakers, or swap your heels for your Blundstones and head out to explore the grounds.

As with every Dine Wilder event, we believe if you’ve made the investment to attend, you should have full rights to the memories. A full professional photo album will be shared after the event, and we’ll be encouraging you to use and share it across your socials.
