Our festival offering

A key service of ours is hosting wellbeing tents at festivals across England and Wales.

We provide mindfulness activities; a place to chill; and an inclusive space to talk openly about mental health.

We also have access to free professional single-session talking therapy with qualified psychologists and counsellors.

Beautiful bell tents lined with comfortable bean bags and cosy blankets create the perfect environment for visitors to relax, reconnect with themselves and connect with others who may be experiencing similar emotions brought on by the vibrancy of the festival environment. blink strive to create inclusive spaces for all visitors, whether seeking a quiet space to close their eyes and switch off, engage in mindful activities to unwind, or access our free single-session talking therapy

Our chill-out tent

Whether festival-goers want a quiet space to switch off and nap, a place to connect with others, to explore the benefits of therapy or share the emotional weight they’re carrying, or just a safe-haven for a while – our bell tents are ready. Lined with comfortable bean bags and cosy blankets, we create the perfect environment to relax in.

Puzzles and mindful colouring are available to unwind from the busyness outside. Our Well-being Support Volunteers are always available to book therapy, have conversations and signpost those who may be struggling or need some extra support.

Our free single-session therapy

ran using

blink’s therapy sessions are free and accessible to anyone during the festival, we have no month-long waiting lists or strict criteria people need to meet. Sessions are bookable in person, with visitors allocated a timeslot of up to 45 minutes to talk to a qualified therapist in a relaxed, non-judgemental environment in a private bell tent.

Deciding to talk to a therapist might bring up some initial feelings of apprehension. Acknowledging concerns and voicing feelings can sometimes bring to the surface experiences and emotions that feel intense and difficult to process. By offering a calm space and the support of experienced volunteers and qualified therapists, blink hope to make the prospect of talking about and getting support with mental health issues feel less overwhelming.

Many people are surprised at how helpful and powerful a single therapeutic session can be - whether the focus is to explore what therapy may look like, to chat about a current source of distress, or a broader, more enduring concern or self-reflection.
