Wellsynergy, the first wellbeing and outdoor activity festival to be held in the heart of the stunning Brecon Beacons (Bannau Brycheiniog) from 20-22 September is welcoming Patrick Holford as special guest speaker. Patrick, the founder of dementia prevention charity, Food For The Brain and author of almost 50 books, has dedicated his life to helping people enhance their health. He will share valuable insights into the practical changes in nutrition, lifestyle and mindset that can improve our mental health.
Other guest speakers include qualified mountain leader Kevin Walker, who has been running navigation and hill skills courses for over 40 years. During the festival, Kevin will be presenting two audio-visual shows. The first – “Nature of the Brecon Beacons” – based on his book of the same name, and “Messing With the Masonry” where he takes us on an autobiographical journey from school-boy rebel to Himalayan adventurer, and shares his passion and enthusiasm for this most basic of pleasures.
Entertainment highlights include live music from talented Cwmbran artist Rhys Watkins and two outdoor cinema screenings, including The Greatest Showman. Festival-goers can enjoy a wide range of activities, such as guided nature walks, scenic hikes, sunrise yoga, a climbing wall, invigorating fitness sessions, and children’s activities like bug hunts, outdoor play, and arts and crafts. For those who want to relax and simply enjoy the beauty of the landscape, there will be plenty of delicious food and drink options available. You’re also welcome to bring your own food.
Organiser Janine Price said, “We are delighted to have speakers of Patrick and Kevin’s calibre at the event. It’s a rare opportunity to have such experts on the same stage. There really will be something for everyone and we have deliberately kept ticket prices affordable as we would love to see lots of families share the weekend.”
Chris Thomas of ROC Outdoor Adventure and joint founder of the festival added, "Anything that's gets people embracing and enjoying the outdoors is a great thing. We have such an outstanding natural resource on our doorstep. Wellsynergy is an amazing opportunity to explore the benefits of outdoor activity and for people to take home practical strategies for living well.”
Keri Davies host of the festival said, “It is with great excitement that we get ready to host what we hope as a family will be an unforgettable weekend of blending the natural environment, simply delicious Welsh food and drink rounded off with great music and dance.”
A range of affordable accommodation to suit all tastes and budgets is available ranging from luxury onsite and local accommodation, to a range of on-site camping options including camper vans allowing ground campfires and BBQs and welcoming well-behaved dogs on leads.
