The community of Exeter is buzzing with anticipation as the Feel Good Festival is set to bring joy, wellbeing, and family fun to the local area. Scheduled for Saturday, May 16, from 11 am to 2 pm at the Wonford Community and Learning Centre and Wonford Playing Fields, this festival promises to be a vibrant gathering for residents of all ages.

A Community Initiative for Wellbeing

Organized by the community group Wonford Health Matters in partnership with the Wonford Community and Learning Centre, the festival aims to promote health and wellness through various engaging activities. With the support of a £900 grant from Exeter City Council, the event seeks to enhance community bonds and promote positive health lifestyles.

Fun for Everyone

The Feel Good Festival will feature an array of free activities designed to cater to all ages. Attendees can look forward to face painting, a bouncy castle, and football sessions hosted by the City Community Trust. Additionally, the festival provides an opportunity to try out new sports and enjoy lively dance and singing performances, alongside a unique Double Elephant Print Workshop.

Connecting with Health and Nature

In line with the festival’s health-centric theme, the event will also offer information and taster sessions focused on the five ways to wellbeing: connecting, keeping active, learning or creating, giving, and taking notice. Visitors will have the chance to discover how to engage with nature and access advice on maintaining good health—all while enjoying a festive atmosphere.

This free event not only promises a day full of fun but also emphasizes the importance of community wellbeing, making it a must-visit for everyone in Exeter. For those interested in the full program, more details can be found on the Wonford Community and Learning Centre website.
