THE ORGANISERS OF RELISH FESTIVAL

Keri, Chud and Flair are a powerhouse combination of humans who also happen to be family. The idea for Relish had been slowly simmering on the proverbial back-burner for numerous years, as they gained knowledge and experience through the process of creating numerous beautiful gatherings for their community. It finally came into fruition when Flair approached Keri and Chud back in 2017 and said ‘I can get the band My Baby to come and play for us…. What can we do?’

Margeaux has been in the background lightening the load for Keri, Chud and Flair since 2019, and in 2024 she was brought on board as a lead administrator to help bring the 2025 gathering to life.

All four organisers have seen the power of what happens when people gather together and give their time and energy to co-create, and they share an intention to spread that understanding far and wide. The magic created at Relish is an experience they hold very dear, and the joy of sharing it has been transformational in each of their lives.

Each of the organisers brings their own strengths. Chud is the visionary, overseeing the construction and placement of the site, and problem solving any challenge that comes his way. Keri is the task-master, amazingly capable of understanding all the areas of the festival that need support and able to direct helping hands in an efficient and inclusive way, with her keen eye for identifying people’s capabilities. She is also exceptionally talented at turning white marquees into beautifully decorated luscious zones. Flair and Margeaux are the minds ticking away at the behind-the-scenes organisation, and are dedicated to keeping the ship on course. They are the port-of-call for all of those who step forward to take on leadership and logistical roles, and ensure the gears stay greased and the wheels keep turning. They love the balance of guiding the journey without gripping the wheel too tightly, and delight in the organic unfolding that is the essence of Relish. Together these four organisers make a complementary and powerful team.

Keri, Chud, Flair, and Margeaux hope that your time at Relish helps you to find a safe space to let down your barriers, connect to others, open up to the joy of life around you, and shows you the power you have to cast your ripples outward on the pool of human experience. Music, food, workshops, comfort, sun and a beautiful spot are all key ingredients in this recipe for
