A free health and wellbeing event will be held in Workington next weekend.
The event, in Vulcan Park on Saturday May 14 from 11am to 4pm, includes yoga and mindfulness workshops plus stalls from businesses, charities, organisations and individuals who all have something to offer in terms of mental health awareness and help, support and guidance.
At the event, people can visit a wide range of stalls, including Pet Encounter Cumbria, Grow Well’s soothing garden therapy, the Rainbow Wishes Foundation and cooking demos with Helen’s Herbs.
There will also be workshops, including yoga for adults and toddlers and Tibetan and crystal bowls with Simone Walters, mindful meditation and craft therapy with Lotus Holistic Therapies, and mindfulness taster sessions with Mindfulness in the Lakes.
People are requested to book a place on the workshop or workshops of their choice in advance by visiting the Visit Workington website’s Reach Out event page.
It has been organised by Workington Town Council and is supported by the National Lottery Community Fund.
As last year’s Yarn Bomb was such a success, the council is inviting keen knitters to create bigger and better woolly creations this year, in aid of mental health awareness. For more information on the Yarn Bomb, email [email protected] or call 01900 702986.
A spokesman for Workington Town Council said: “We are very excited about our event and want to thank The National Lottery Community Fund for supporting it.
“We hope that those who visit benefit from the health and wellbeing activities on offer.”
