People in Lancaster are being encouraged to rediscover the ‘art of living well’ at the 2022 Bay Health Festival.
The Bay Health Festival is a celebration of health and wellbeing. The event has one very simple aim: to create spaces and opportunities for people to have conversations – easy or difficult – with family, friends, neighbours, and each other.
Organisers say they want these conversations to help us make simple changes that will have a big effect: rediscovering the art of living well, while having the chance to have fun, enjoy some food and entertainment.
There’s a full programme of entertainment in Dalton Square next week (July 7 – 10), including Samba Espirito, Lancaster BIDs Summer Sundays, a Jujitsu demonstration, food and drink, as well as a host of health and wellbeing organisations in attendance across the weekend.
Saturday also features the Haffner Orchestra playing excerpts from Beethoven’s Pastoral Symphony at the Ashton Memorial, and a ‘Ride Lancaster’ cycling event on the Sunday. There are also events at the Gregson and Lancaster University.
There will be workshops including art therapy, yoga, self-defence, and pole fitness and more, and a range of stalls of organisations across Lancaster and Morecambe including CancerCare, Age UK, HSBC, Asda, FoodFutures, and Harri Bus health checks.
Similar events are taking place at Barrow and Kendal.
