Wirral's largest ever wellness festival comes to Birkenhead Park this June

Wirral’s largest ever wellness festival is coming to Birkenhead Park this June. After the success of the first event last year, Wirral Wellness Festival returns on June 15 and 16, - featuring expert speakers, live fitness classes, food trucks, live music and DJs, over a hundred market stalls, fun fair and fitness activities for children, support for self development, mental wellbeing and more.

Sponsored by Win Win Water and Supreme CBD, and in partnership with Birkenhead Park that has recently secured Heritage Status, Wirral Borough Council and Wirral Mind Charity, over 100 businesses and practitioners are involved in this year’s two day extravaganza - set to be the biggest event of its kind to be held in Wirral. From live music and inspirational speakers to activities from Merseyside's top fitness instructors with taster classes such as yoga, breathwork, kettlebell workouts, HIIT, fitness challenges and somatic dancing, there’s so much on offer and something for everyone.

Taking place on Father’s Day weekend to focus on men’s mental health, the ethos of wellness, health, community and connection, thousands of people set to attend over the two days. Its aim is to bring people together to support physical and mental health - with an abundance of things on offer throughout the weekend to do so.

From a huge market to browse and nutritious food trucks to wellness treatments and therapies, the festival is all about nourishing the body, trying something new and connecting with yourself and others. Day passes are just £12.50, or just £20 for the weekend, and children under 12 attend for free - all pre-ordered tickets via Eventbrite come with a three month free subscription to Martin Bone’s meditation app.

Co-organiser, Ellie Ferguson, said: “Last year’s inaugural event was a great success but this year’s full two day festival is going to be even bigger and better with so many wonderful practitioners and businesses involved. It’s by far the biggest event of its kind to be hosted in Wirral and it’s something that’s so needed in today’s society.

“We’re living in a world where mental health issues are on the rise, so through our festival we invite people to re-focus on wellness and come together to promote it. Birkenhead Park as an aspiring world heritage site is a beautiful setting for it and it’s going to be a fun-filled weekend of goodness for all the family. We are really excited for it.”

Wirral Wellness Festival is a strictly alcohol-free event, committed to a sober, safe and inclusive environment. Official radio partner, Dune Radio, will be broadcasting live from the festival in what promises to be a wellness extravaganza like no other in the stunning Birkenhead Park.

Co-organiser Becky Jones, who will be hosting a live yoga class, said: “This kind of thing is so needed and we encourage anyone from all walks of life to come and get involved - whether you’re an eight-year-old or an 80-year-old there’s something fun and nourishing on offer for you. We encourage families to join us for Father’s Day to spend quality time with the family. We can’t wait to welcome you all.”
