Connect with your inner self and rejuvenate your mind with a holistic wellness festival.
The Kent Wellness Festival, which launched in 2019, returns for its fourth year of yoga classes, spa treatments and mindfulness sessions at the Kent Event Centre in Detling.
The two-day festival encourages visitors to take time out of their busy lives to indulge in all aspects of wellness, both physical and mental.
The website describes the festival as an opportunity for visitors to “achieve a full and happy life” and aims to “inspire, educate, challenge, innovate, support, enrich and empower” others.
There will be more than 65 hours worth of classes, talks and workshops covering a range of topics, including self-love, meditation, nutrition, reflexology and the menopause.
The festival also focuses on spirituality, with experienced guides taking visitors through tarot card readings, crystal readings, astrology and spiritual counselling, as well as sessions with mediums and clairvoyants.
If you want to spend more time looking after your body, there are exercise classes such as yoga and meditation, dance workouts, hula hoop fitness and Tai Chi.
There will also be food and drink to replenish your energy levels after your workout, and an on-site day spa to give your body a chance to relax and recover.
The festival speakers come from a wide range of backgrounds, including several guests from the local area.
Bec Cousins, who won an award at the Kent Teacher of the Year Awards, will be discussing how to provide emotional support for children and Robert Nelson, a therapist at the Harmony Therapy Trust in Sheerness, will be sharing the basics of feet reflexology.
Directors of Whitstable Beauty School Donna and Charlotte Waugh, Faversham burlesque dance teacher Emma Mudge and Joti Lidder, who runs weekly workshops in Sidcup, will also be speaking at the festival.
The Kent Wellness Festival takes place on Saturday, June 10 and Sunday, June 11 at the Kent Event Centre in Detling, near Maidstone.
All of the classes, workshops and talks are included in a general admission ticket, which start from £20. You can book tickets online here.
The ticket also includes a tote bag to take home with you and a festival programme.
