Happy Place Virtual Festival
Fearne Cotton’s ‘Happy Place’ podcast has created its own free virtual festival, and we are keen as mustard.
That’s right, as of 12th June, Happy Place are offering a month-long series of calendar content full of passionate people promoting and talking about a wide range of subjects. This includes, but is not limited to; mental health, wellbeing and physical health. There will also be live performances, lectures and conversations from motivational speakers and a bunch of learning tutorials.
There are a number of festival locations for Happy Place Festival to be able to choose the things you want to see, read or hear.
With self-love and kindness at its core, head to the Wellbeing Garden to unlock your mind and body with a bunch of talks, yoga classes and workshops.
Channel your inner artist and get crafty with DIY t-shirt tote bags, fabric jewellery, paper flowers and much more in the Craft Village!

Think the Glastonbury Pyramid stage, but virtual. The Main Stage will host a wide range of events, including workouts, poetry recitals, salsa, breathing exercises, dance and even an in sessions with Freya Ridings.
Family Retreat - in partnership with Brio
Entertain the kids with something new in lockdown, they’ll be able to make their own squishy soaps, create nature wands, and listen to multiple storytime readings.
The Bar - brought to you be Ceder’s
Head over to The Bar, where you can dive into cocktail masterclasses and DJ sets galore (Gok Wan even has a DJ set) all sponsored by Ceder’s non-alcoholic gin.
Not opening until 12th June, the marketplace is exactly what it says on the tin.
The Tyla Tent - in partnership with Tyla
This is what’s known as the DMC tent, all from female-focused community brand Tyla. Perfect for a pop-culture chinwag or to get into some deeper chats.
Cookathons, chocolate demonstrations, a gut clinic. You name it, The Kitchen has it. Particularly looking forward to the Happy Pear berry-infused chocolate mousse recipe and demonstration!
Talk Lounge - brought to you by Synctuition
Over in the Talk Lounge, there are plenty of Fearne Cotton in conversation with events, as well as a star studded line-up of guest speakers who are on hand to talk about a diverse range of topics.
Meditation Mountain - brought to you by Pukka
Meditation mountain is the place to come to rejuvenate. What with lockdown, coronavirus and anti-racial protests taking the world by storm, this is the place to find some calm in the chaos and reflect. There are a series of guided meditations to join, horoscope workshops and much more.
