Catch Nick on Do Radio: Where To Next with Dan Kieran 06-12th October 2025

Nick Shaftesbury is not just the 12th Earl of a historic English title - he’s a modern-day steward of legacy, place, and purpose. As the visionary behind the extraordinary restoration of St Giles House, his ancestral home in Dorset, Nick has redefined what it means to inherit, not just bricks and mortar, but memory, meaning, and mission. It’s here that the Realisation Festival was born, offering a gathering ground for those seeking deeper connection in a distracted world.

In this episode of Where To Next, recorded on the grounds of St Giles during the festival, Nick speaks with Dan Kieran about healing generational wounds, the alchemy of place, and creating the space to be real.
