A community festival celebrating all things green, eco-friendly and healthy is to be held in Bradford on Avon next month.

The free two-day event, called Breathe, is a combination of the Health and Wellbeing weekend and the Bradford on Avon Green Fair and will be held in Barton Farm Country Park on May 9-10, from 10am daily.

Yoga and meditation sessions, therapists offering free taster sessions, advice on how to live a more healthy lifestyle, stalls from organic food producers and a variety of workshops and activities for children will all feature.

A paid-for concert will be held on the Saturday evening. which will be headlined by Bhangra band RSVP. All money raised at the concert will be donated to charities including UNICEF, Rainbow Trust and the Wildlife Conservation Charity.

Organiser Laura Brennand, who previously ran the Health and Wellbeing Weekend, said: "Last year we had 2,000 people crammed into Westbury Gardens in the centre of Bradford. This year we wanted to expand and join with the green fair and build a new festival for families to come and have a good day out.

"The event allows families to come and wander around and get a feel for what’s available locally. Bradford is a Fairtrade town and many of the local businesses run in line with sustainability and are eco-aware.

“We have educational activities for kids and stalls for the parents.”

The daytime festival is a non-profit making event with all money raised going to charity including Dorothy House Hospice, Wiltshire MIND, St John Ambulance and the Neem Tree Trust, all of which will have a presence at the event.

Tickets for the concert cost £10 for adults and £6 for under 16s and can be bought in advance from Quire and Inspiration.
