Bringing Wellbeing to BunkFest 2026

The brilliant BunkFest team have given me the opportunity to bring a micro-version of the Wallingford Wellbeing Festival to this year's BunkFest, and I couldn't be more excited.

Our ambition is bold but simple: to provide 1,000 free wellbeing experiences for people of all ages across the festival weekend.

Together, we'll create an innovative, immersive and experiential wellbeing village, offering a diverse programme of treatments, workshops, talks, demonstrations, classes and interactive experiences that support our eight interconnected pillars of wellbeing:

Physical Health • Mental & Emotional Wellbeing • Connection & Belonging • Work & Purpose • Financial Wellbeing • Spiritual Wellbeing • Nature & Environment • Creativity & Expression

We want this experience to be inclusive, accessible and welcoming to everyone. To make that happen, we need your help.

 

Help Us Raise £10,000

Whilst all of the activities will be delivered by generous volunteers, there are still essential costs involved in bringing the festival to life, including marquees, canopies, equipment, insurance, accessibility provisions, products, way finding materials and event infrastructure.

Our goal is to raise £10,000 to make this vision a reality.

If you're able to support us financially, no matter how large or small the contribution, we would be incredibly grateful.

 

>> DONATE NOW <<

 

Every pound donated helps us bring more wellbeing experiences to more people.
