Fearne Cotton Happy Place Festival takes place in two beautiful locations — Gunnersbury Park in London and Tatton Park in Cheshire. This vibrant celebration of wellness and self-care features inspirational talks, movement classes, great food and joyful music. It’s a weekend of positivity, community, and uplifting experiences designed to help you reconnect and recharge.
History of Fearne Cotton Happy Place Festival
The Happy Place Festival was created by TV presenter and author Fearne Cotton as an extension of her Happy Place brand, products and podcast. Since its debut in 2019, it has grown into one of the UK’s most beloved wellness events. Fearne says she wanted to build a safe, inclusive space where people could focus on their mental and emotional well-being while enjoying a fun, festival-like atmosphere. Each year, thousands attend to explore mindfulness, creativity and holistic healing.
What to Expect at the Happy Place Festival
The Happy Place Festival is a two-weekend celebration, taking place in London on 12–13 July 2025 and in Cheshire on 30–31 August 2025. Both weekends follow the same theme, giving visitors in different parts of the country the chance to attend this two-of-a-kind event.
At the festival, you will find yourself immersed in a world of peace, positivity and purpose. There are inspiring panel discussions, wellness talks with thought leaders, and movement classes like yoga and Pilates. The meditation tents are especially calming, and the artisan market is a treasure trove of handmade crafts, books, and eco-conscious products. Look out for the food — organic dishes, vegan options and guilt-free treats everywhere you turn.
Happy Place Festival workshops let you try journaling, pottery, or painting, and there’s often live music in the evenings to round off the perfect day. Families are welcome, too, with activities designed just for kids. Closer to the time, there may be pre-festival podcast specials and virtual meditations that help set the tone for the weekend. It’s a whole experience, not just an event — leaving you feeling more connected to the world around you.
