Wembley Park, the North West London neighbourhood best known for its global sporting and entertainment credentials, will host its inaugural, free Wellness Festival this Saturday 13th September 2025.
Running from 9am to 6pm, the Wembley Park Wellness Festival offers a full day of free classes and workshops led by local studios, gyms and instructors. From sunrise gong baths to sunset yoga, everyone is invited to explore fitness, family fun and mindful escapes in one big community celebration.
Unfolding beneath the iconic arch of Wembley Stadium and activating landmark locations such as Samovar Space, Elvin Gardens, Union Park and BOXPARK Wembley, the day will offer a full, free to attend, programme of movement, wellbeing and creative activities across the neighbourhood with many walk-in events available.
Delivered in partnership with Buzz Gym, one of the UK’s fastest-growing independent gym groups, the festival programme is supported by a range of local studios and practitioners, and is fully open access, inviting residents and visitors to take part at their own pace.
What’s On
Fitness fans can join a line-up of sessions curated by Buzz Gym, known for high-energy, accessible workouts. A key highlight is the HYROX experience — the global fitness race format that blends strength and endurance into one high-intensity circuit.
Buzz Gym will also lead a series of other sessions throughout the day:
- Les Mills Body Balance, a flowing mix of yoga, Tai Chi and Pilates
- Soca Dance Aerobics, bringing high-energy Caribbean rhythms
- Calisthenics Demo, introducing bodyweight strength training in the open air
Alongside these, MoreYoga — London’s largest independent yoga studio — will offer inclusive family-friendly yoga sessions, designed to be welcoming for all ages and abilities. Meanwhile, El Estudio Pilates presents a workout led by Laura Pelinski, a celebrity trainer known for working with Olympic athletes and A-list actors, blending posture, breathwork and control into an all-levels session.
Also on the line-up is UBX Wembley, the Australian studio concept that fuses boxing drills with functional strength in a no-class-times format — designed for all levels, no sparring required. And Social Sports Wembley will introduce visitors to padel, the UK’s fastest-growing racket sport, at Wembley Park’s new padel courts.
With no need to book, the Speaker Box Dance Party will be highlight for dance fans of all ages with families able to shake their stuff with a street and social dance session led by local champions Speaker Box in Arena Square.
Creative & Mental Wellbeing
Wellness at Wembley Park goes beyond physical movement. The festival also invites visitors to reconnect with their inner wellbeing through moments of calm, creativity and joy.
Wembley Park-based Arts Council Portfolio Organisation Fresh Arts are partnering with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (RPO) to host two Sound Sanctuary workshops. These accessible, sensory-led music sessions use live orchestral and percussion instruments and are designed for people with additional needs. The workshops will be led by the RPO, which is relocating their headquarters to Wembley Park this autumn.
Later, certified laughter yoga practitioner Kalpana Doshi will lead a playful workshop using breathwork, movement and laughter to release tension, lift mood and reset through shared joy.
Meanwhile, MoreYoga will guide a calming gong bath by Union Park’s new wildflower meadow — an immersive sound experience designed to help participants reconnect with nature and unwind.

Supporting Everyday Wellbeing
Part of the broader Summer Rocks cultural programme, the Wembley Park Wellness Festival underscores the neighbourhood’s transformation into a liveable, community-focused destination, a shift recently recognised by The Sunday Times, which named Wembley Park one of the Best Places to Live 2025.
The festival reflects Wembley Park’s long-term investment in health and wellbeing, woven into the everyday fabric of the neighbourhood. At its heart is Union Park — Brent’s first major public park in over 130 years. It features a vast wildflower meadow, outdoor gym equipment, paddling pools, sun loungers, tennis courts, dog runs, a multi-use games area, bee and bug hotels, and an interconnected system of ponds and fountains that recycle rain and wastewater.
Four children’s play parks are spread across the neighbourhood, offering varied play experiences for families in different locations. Meanwhile, a network of pedestrian boulevards — including Olympic Way and Wembley Park Boulevard — encourages walking, cycling and access to green space. These routes are now lined with many of the 1,000+ trees planted across the estate to support climate resilience, shade and biodiversity. This infrastructure supports a broader strategy to create a neighbourhood where wellbeing isn’t a one-off event but part of daily life.
