Camberwell Green • 6 July Ruskin Park • 13 July, 11am-3pm

The Camberwell Feel Good Festival returns for Summer 2024 with two Saturday festival events, packed full of fun and engaging health and wellbeing activities, free food and music, and vital support services for all ages.

After the fantastic success of last year’s Feel Good Festival, which attracted more than 1000 visitors, SE5 Forum invites everyone to this summer’s festival of wellness, community connection and joy.

The Feel Good Festival hosts two free health and wellbeing events for the Camberwell community: on Camberwell Green on 6 July and in Ruskin Park on 13 July as well as a community picnic in Myatt’s Fields Park on 27 July.

Join in free fitness and yoga sessions for all ages, or mindful arts and crafts. Enjoy free food from local food charities and live music, bring the kids for active fun and games, and get vital health support and signposting.

The festival brings together local charities and organisations, arts and health professionals, food banks and pantries, and volunteers, to support the health and wellbeing of the local community and create a free, uplifting event.

Local food charity Spring Community Hub will cook up a West African feast and Healthy Living Platform will be serving up delicious plant-based snacks, plus children can join a healthy, no-cook food workshop to try easy, nutritious recipes.

This year’s Camberwell Green event is also in collaboration with the Let’s Get Together Windrush Festival, fostering community spirit and promoting healthy lifestyles with a diverse line-up of dance, music and children’s activities.

In addition to the fun and fitness activities, the festival will offer a range of health support services, with free NHS physical and mental health advice and signposting from Partnership Southwark’s Health Van and Lambeth Together’s Health and Wellbeing Bus, with mental health advice from support stalls.

The festival atmosphere will be further enriched with live music performances, including local choirs and a community sing-a-long, making it a perfect day out for all ages.
