Cambridge Wellness Festival returns to BioMed Campus

Promoting health and well-being, the festival features inspirational talks, workshops, activities, food and stalls across three stretch tents with drop-in yoga, qigong, pilates, meditation sessions and more.

The Talks Tent features a series of talks on how to avoid burnout, the power of listening, nutrition for better health, and positive ageing.

Cambridge-based well-tech consultancy NINE Lab invites you to explore scientifically backed interventions to boost well-being at the Positive Psychology Pod.

From 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., attendees can grab a free smoothie and attend workshops including ‘The 4 Breath Method’ with Sam Thoroughgood from Tiny Pause, NINE Lab’s ‘How to Cultivate Optimal Happiness’ plus sessions by well-being practitioners on Resilience-building, Positive Journalling, Finding the Playful Self, and more.

Gill Wilson, Campus Enlivenment Lead for the Campus, said: “The Cambridge Biomedical Campus is renowned for being the largest centre of medical research and health science in Europe and the biggest employment site in Cambridge… with so much going on it’s important people take time out for their wellbeing.

“The Wellness Festival will give everyone the chance to learn about healthy habits which could improve their social, physical and mental health.”

The Wellness Festival is open to campus staff and the general public and will be hosted on The Green and The Gardens between Royal Papworth Hospital and AstraZeneca. Entry and all activities are free of charge with no pre-booking required.

The event takes place on September 10, 2024 from 11:00-18:00 at The Green and The Gardens, between Royal Papworth Hospital and AstraZeneca, Cambridge.
