Quinta do Areal is back with the second edition of the Spring Wellness Festival on Saturday May 3rd - a special gathering all about well-being, connection, and embracing nature.
This festival isn’t just about feeling good; it’s also to help a good cause. The facilitators, therapists and market vendors will be donating some or all of the money raised to help Louzanimales our local animal rescue charity that does incredible work in the area.
Throughout the day, you’ll have the chance to take part in a variety of wellness activities, including:
Yoga & Movement classes – Relax, stretch and move your body.
Massage & Holistic Therapies – Treat yourself to one of the different types of massage and bodywork on offer.
Kids’ Activities – Children’s circle dance and a dance concert for the little ones.
Of course, good food is an essential part of well-being, so expect delicious and nutritious food that nourishes both body and soul. You’ll also find a market with handcrafted and natural products from local artisans—natural cosmetics, soaps and body lotions, unique handicrafts and sustainable goodies.
Entrance is free and everyone is welcome.
If you’d like to join any of the activities, make sure to book in advance by contacting the facilitators directly.
Prices for classes and workshops range from 5 to 10 euros and you can pay when booking or on the day of the event. Prices for massages and treatments will be confirmed with the therapist.
If you’re looking for a day to unwind, recharge, and celebrate spring with our friendly local community, this festival is for you!
