Packed schedule for Feel Good Festival

Lochwinnoch Feel Good Festival is gearing up for a return with an extended programme.

The Feel Good Fortnight, from May 10 to May 26, will include workshops, recreational events, nature activities, therapeutic classes and talks.

A main highlight will be a wellbeing fair on May 18 at the McKillop Institute with stalls, workshops, free massage taster treatments and refreshments.

Therapists from the Tan Thai Massage

Academy across Europe will be making their return this year.

There will also be a street performance from samba band Bloco Winnoch to kick the event off at noon.

The aim of the project is to build support, connect people and introduce them to new activities to increase wellbeing.

LEAP, the charity behind the festival, also removes financial barriers for people by offering events for free or at affordable rates.

The programme will also include 14 days of free yoga, pilates, movement and breathing classes.

Tori Bell, project manager of the organising charity LEAP, said: “Wherever you live, you’re welcome to book in for some of these brilliant events.

“More will be scheduled throughout the year including a Feel Good Gathering on August 24, which will bring people together for a day of festival fun with entertainment, food and drink, stalls and workshops.”

This year, organisers look forward to hosting activities across the Renfrewshire villages as the project extends its reach.
