About the Festival

A gathering rooted in the Gita, built for the world.

The Manchester Gita Festival brings together seekers, scholars, families and children for five days of reflection and celebration. Organised by GIEO Gita — the Global Inspiration & Enlightenment Organization of Bhagwad Gita — the festival carries forward a tradition of sharing the Gita’s teachings across communities and continents.

From quiet morning satsang to an evening of music and devotion, every moment is shaped around one intention: timeless values, offered freely, in the spirit of global harmony.
