WellFest is back with its biggest and most powerful line-up ever

If you haven’t experienced WellFest yet, it’s definitely one for the bucket list this summer. 

As Europe’s largest outdoor health and wellness festival, it features over 150 fitness, health and wellness experts across more than 15 stages, tapping into all aspects of health from nutrition and fitness to mental health and medical myth-busting

From Saturday, May 10 to Sunday, May 11, there’ll be hundreds of talks, workouts, cooking classes and more – even a line-up of activities like yoga and dance for kids to participate in – all taking place on the beautiful grounds of Dublin’s IMMA at the Royal Hospital Kilmainham.

And this year’s headliners are sure to impress with workouts led by LA celebrity trainer DB DONAMATRIX, inspirational talks from mental health activist and trainer Get Better with Chris, food demonstrations with bestselling author and nutritionist Em the Nutritionist, tantra yoga with holistic sex educator Jenny Keane, and WellFest’s first ever run club led by Irish Olympian Nadia Power.

Here’s what we know is on the agenda so far…
