Wellnergy Festival, the first festival in the UK to introduce a dedicated Neurodivergent Zone, will this year partner with Nutritious Minds Trust Charity (NMTC) to take its neurodivergent space to the next level. The enhanced session-led tent will feature neurodivergent guest speakers alongside world-leading experts in nutrition and brain health, including Dr. Robert Lustig (UCSF), Dr. Rachel V. Gow (St Mary’s University, Twickenham), and Professor Michael Crawford (Imperial College London).

The Neurodivergent Zone will also feature a dedicated Brain-Health Wellness Tent in collaboration with The Well-Being Agency, offering Indian Head Massage and Reiki, alongside an Art Tent in partnership with Raver Tots, where professional artists will guide children in creating their own artwork - with the opportunity to exhibit their pieces in the main tent.

Set to return to Wimbledon Park on Friday, June 13th and Saturday, June 14th, 2025, Wellnergy Festival offers an immersive experience that brings together wellness, fitness, mindfulness, and sustainable living. This year, Wellnergy is proudly partnered with YuLife, an insurance and employee benefits company that’s reimagining the role of wellness at work. YuLife brings joy and purpose to the traditionally rigid world of insurance, empowering people to lead healthier, more fulfilled lives.
