DOSE Fest was created as a space where adults and children could explore wellbeing, creativity, movement and connection together.

Rachel attended with her two boys and shared:

“We had an amazing day at the DOSE Festival! My children loved the variety of activities, and there was so much to see and do. The breakout drum session was a real highlight, bringing everyone together with energy and enthusiasm, and the boxing activity was a huge hit with the children. The event was well organised, welcoming, and full of positive energy. It was a brilliant family day out, and we would definitely recommend it”

Thank you, Rachel, for sharing your experience and for being part of the very first DOSE Fest.

The first festival may be over, but it was only the beginning.

Big change does not always begin with one huge intervention.

Sometimes it begins with a conversation.

A new connection.

A practical idea.

A moment of encouragement.

Or the realisation that you are not the only person navigating something difficult.
Patrick Regan OBE, author and Director of Brighter Days, reflected on the first DOSE Fest:

“It was inspiring to see so many people come together to focus on health, hope and connection. The DOSE festival reminded us that stronger communities are built through small steps, shared conversation, and commitment to support one another”
That is exactly what DOSE Fest set out to create.

A space where people could come together, explore what wellbeing means to them and leave with something useful, hopeful or new.

The first DOSE Fest was never meant to be a one-off event.

It was the first step in a much bigger vision to help people feel happier, healthier and more connected through creativity, shared experiences and community-led wellbeing.

The festival showed what is possible when health information, practical support, movement, culture, joy and connection are brought together in one welcoming space.
But the work does not stop with one day.

DOSE Fest is the beginning of a wider programme of future festivals, pop-up events, workshops and community projects designed to make preventative wellbeing more accessible and easier to engage with.

We are building on what worked, listening to what people told us and creating more opportunities for communities to connect, learn and discover what supports their wellbeing.

The first step has been taken.

Now we keep moving forward.

💜 Next Up, Thank you to Carly at We Make Things Personal! 💜

After Julia .marketing.help designed our first ever programme booklets, it was Carly [email protected] who rescued me with a late printing job to bring them to life, making sure they were printed beautifully and ready for the big day.

The programmes were such an important part of helping guests navigate the festival, discover what was happening across each zone and understand the wider DOSE vision.

Thank you, Carly, for your care, support and brilliant service. We truly appreciated your part in helping everything come together! 💜

💜 Another huge DOSE Fest thank you to the team at Print Peel & Stick 💜

The outdoor signage across DOSE Fest played such an important role in helping people find their way around the site, identify our different zones and feel more confident navigating the event.

The team at PrintPeel&Stick Ltd helped us bring everything together with our accessible outdoor signs, stickers, branded cups, additional printed pieces and a fantastic backdrop that we will be able to use again at future events.

The quality of everything they produced was excellent, while still remaining genuinely affordable — something that matters enormously when you are delivering a community-focused event and working carefully within a budget.

Their communication was also brilliant throughout the entire process. They were responsive, helpful and clear at every stage, making sure we understood the options available and that everything was completed exactly as needed.

These details can sometimes appear small within the scale of a whole festival, but they make an enormous difference. Clear and welcoming signage supports accessibility, strengthens the visitor experience and helps transform an open space into something that feels connected, purposeful and unmistakably DOSE.

We are so grateful for the care, quality, affordability and support the team gave us, including all the additional touches that helped us prepare for the day.

Thank you for helping us bring the DOSE Fest vision to life and for creating materials that will continue to support our journey long after the first festival. We truly appreciate you! 💜

💜 A special DOSE Fest thank you to Mike at Prime Press UK!💜

Some of the people who make an event possible are not always visible on the day, but their support behind the scenes can make all the difference.

When we were unexpectedly let down at the last minute, Mike from Prime Press UK stepped in and worked his magic, getting our core event team T-shirts printed and ready in time for DOSE Fest.

Mike was an absolute star from beginning to end. As someone with very little knowledge of the printing process, I had plenty of questions - but he never made me feel that any of them were silly or too much trouble. He was patient, reassuring, helpful and completely committed to getting everything sorted for us.

That level of customer care matters, particularly when you are organising a major event and already juggling hundreds of moving parts! Mike took away one of those pressures and made the whole process feel straightforward.

Thank you so much, Mike. We truly appreciated everything you did to help Team DOSE look the part on the day -and we will definitely be back very soon! 💜
