RBG Kew has announced the line-up for the first-ever Joe Wicks Festival, taking place at Kew Gardens in London on Sunday 7 July 2024 (9.30am-6pm).

From sounds baths with Jasmine Hemsley, to yoga accompanied by live music, sleep sessions, a live DJ set, a picnic with Joe and much more, the Joe Wicks Festival promises a host of activities for everyone to enjoy Kew Gardens says.

Set in a 320-acre UNESCO World Heritage site home to over 17,000 plant species, the Joe Wicks Festival at Kew is hosted by Kew ambassador and ex-Blue Peter presenter Konnie Huq, who will bring together a variety of much-loved fitness and wellness experts for the ultimate feel-good day out.

What's more, people will have the chance to meet, work out, or enjoy a picnic with Joe Wicks, who won the heart of the nation through his daily 'PE with Joe' workouts in 2020.

The Joe Wicks Festival at Kew will feature four distinct zones, each dedicated to a different element of mental or physical wellness:

ReEnergise: the main stage will host a varied programme of fitness activities lead by Joe and guest experts. A mass warm-up promises to open the festival with a bang, before yoga, sound baths, DJ sets and more take over, culminating in a mass PE with Joe finale to end the day on a high. 

ReConnect: in the ultimate zone to reconnect with yourself, learn more about Gut Health with Dr Megan Rossi, listen to a Menopause Panel chaired by Kate Rowe-Ham and see James Davies talk through the Reset System, a holistic approach that aims to rejuvenate the body and mind. Kate and Toby Oliver will also be running a 'Positive Living' talk, while Kathryn Pinkham offers a Sleep session. 

ReTreat: the ReTreat zone is a relaxation area dedicated to wellness, a place to escape the stresses and busy-ness of everyday life. Discover mediation, breath therapy, tai chi and more.

RePlay: children and families can enjoy book readings, crafts and family-friendly fitness in this fun-filled area. The jam-packed schedule includes meet and greets with Joe, book readings and activities lead by Nipperbout. 

Day-long feel-good festival takes place on Sunday 7 July 2024 (9.30am-6pm).

Research conducted as part of Kew's Nature Unlocked project revealed spending just ten minutes in a green space can lower your resting heart rate[i], making Kew Gardens the perfect venue for the festival which has been designed with mental and physical wellbeing in mind.

"I love bringing my own family to this incredible place and can't wait to see people of all ages come together to experience the benefits of nature whilst learning new skills, taking part in some great workouts, and enjoying delicious food.
