The third year of the free Wirral Wellness Festival event returns on Saturday, September 13 and Sunday, September 14.

Founded and organised by Wirral duo Becky Jones, a yoga teacher, and Ellie Ferguson, a tech company brand manager, who have built the festival from scratch having  started it out as a passion project.

Becky said: “We have all been through our own mental health journey and this festival is to help others through their own journey.”

Ellie added: “We want everyone to come along whatever part of the journey that they are on. There will be fitness classes and inspirational speakers. There will also be stalls selling wellbeing products and produce all sourced from the local area.

“A 5k run on Sunday morning for all abilities is expected to prove popular and we’ve got fitness coaches to guide runners along the course.

“All participants will also receive a goody bag from Liverpool based Applied Nutrition who are the main sponsor of the event this year.”

Yoga classes, speakers, places to relax, a six seated sauna, DJs, fun for dogs, dog behaviour classes, and a funfair include just some of the highlights.

Tickets are free and available via Eventbrite. A separate ticket is required for the Sunday 5k which is also available for free on Eventbrite.
