This Autumn, Eccleston Yards, the stunning outdoor courtyard in the central London neighbourhood of Belgravia, will host a brand new wellness festival, STRETCH. 

STRETCH will celebrate the mindfulness and wellbeing benefits of enjoying the great outdoors during a (hopefully) long Indian Summer in London. With a bustling schedule of workshops and events, including feel-good flower arranging, soul healing and mindful painting it’s time to awaken your senses.

The ticketed event will tap into the wellness trends that have soared in popularity this year from talking therapy to mindful painting, all encouraging visitors to take a moment to relax and unwind. Here’s what’s going on …
