Weston Arts + Health Festival is returning for its seventh year
Inspired by the internationally recognised Five Ways to Wellbeing – Be Active, Take Notice, Give, Keep Learning and this year’s focus, Connect – the 2026 festival will be exploring how meaningful connections can reduce stress, boost mood and support healthier communities.
Co-produced by Super Culture and the UHBW Arts & Culture Programme, part of Bristol NHS Group, the three-day festival invites people of all ages to “Take Five” and experience the wellbeing benefits of creativity, culture and community connection.
To top off a brilliant week of activities at the hospital, they’re bringing a packed programme of events straight to the beachfront! Expect everything from a spectacular community Flag Carnival and a high-energy Disco Ceilidh, to an immersive, collaborative escape-room installation.
Throughout the weekend, you can relax in the Festival Hub, take part in creative workshops, enjoy live performances and discover gentle opportunities to connect with others at your own pace.
All events are absolutely free and all activities are drop-in except for Friday night and the walks, where booking is recommended. Events on 6:30pm – 9:30pm Friday, 10am – 4pm Saturday, 8am – 5:30pm Sunday
