Fare Healthy is the one of the biggest health and wellbeing festivals in London. Check out what to expect this weekend whilst tickets are still selling
If your gym seems a little quieter this weekend, or Whole Foods seemingly more spacious, there will be a reason. 8,000 healthy living inspired Londoners will be heading to the third Fare Healthy festival, at the Truman Brewery in Shoreditch, to mingle with huge influencers in the health and fitness community during exercise classes, food demos, book signings, shopping at every turn and expert panel discussions.
The co-founder of the festival, Rose Lloyd Owen’s, has an ambition to ‘inspire, entertain and motivate people to eat, move, think and, as a result, feel better’. So, the festival is split into three sections – Eat, Move and Think, where you can expect some familiar faces.
At the main stage, seating 200, there will be talks, panel discussions and cookery demonstrations from leading chefs, health experts and wellbeing personalities including Anna Jones (A Modern Way To Cook), Jasmine Hemsley (Hemsley and Hemsley), Valentine Warner (TV Chef) Natasha Corrett (Honestly Healthy), Ella Mills (Deliciously Ella), Uyen Luu (My Vietnamese Kitchen), Amelia Freer and Gaby Roslin. There will also be ‘Fare Healthy Discusses’ stages, with discussions on subjects such as organic farming, probiotics or natural sugars, as well as stories from founders of brands such as Pip & Nut and Propercorn.
There will also be varied exercise classes including Ballet Barre with Naturally Sassy and a HIIT workout with Clean Eating Alice. There will also be a Self-Love Surgery, Vitamix Stage, and even a Kids Zone for parent and child cooking fun, with the help of experts.
The line-up is sure to get you tingling with excitement, so take a look at our best picks, where you may spot the Healthista team:
