We are also hoping to arrange events around Mental Health Awareness Week (13 – 19 May 2024) when the theme is “Movement: Moving more for our mental health”.
The festival includes art exhibitions, creative sessions and poetry.
Enjoy a walk in nature to give your mental health a boost.
Films, live music, self-care workshops and much more.
