About DOSE Fest
A festival built to help people find their joy
DOSE Fest is a one-day wellbeing festival designed to help people reconnect with joy, community, and the things that make them feel most alive.
It is a celebration, but it is also a learning experience. You will leave with practical tools, new ideas, and a clearer understanding of what supports your wellbeing, both in the moment and over time.
At its heart, DOSE Fest is about making wellbeing feel accessible and real. Not something you have to earn, fix, or perfect. Just something you can practise through small, joyful choices, supported by the people around you.
The idea behind DOSE Fest
DOSE Fest is rooted in the science of four key hormones and neurotransmitters that play a central role in wellbeing.

Dopamine
Linked to motivation, focus, and reward

Oxytocin
Linked to connection, trust, and belonging

Serotonin
Linked to mood balance and emotional stability

Endorphins
Linked to stress relief, energy, and resilience
These chemicals are already part of how the human body works. DOSE Fest is designed to help people activate them through experiences that feel enjoyable, social, creative, and supportive.
That might look like movement, music, laughter, workshops, creative sessions, calm spaces, conversation, or simply being part of something positive with others.
What to expect at DOSE Fest
DOSE Fest is designed with inclusivity at its core, with activities for all ages and abilities.
The festival will include a mix of experiences such as:
-
Workshops and talks
-
Movement and feel-good sessions
-
Creative and hands-on activities
-
Community connection and supportive spaces
-
Stalls, products, and wellbeing services
-
Opportunities to discover what brings you joy
You can dip in, slow down, energise, or explore at your own pace. Whether you come for calm, connection, inspiration, or curiosity, there will be something for you.
Why DOSE Fest matters
Many people are navigating increased stress, loneliness, and pressure, often without access to supportive spaces or preventative wellbeing opportunities.
DOSE Fest offers a positive, preventative approach. It creates space for people to explore wellbeing in a way that feels joyful, inclusive, and grounded in community.
By focusing on connection, creativity, and shared experience, DOSE Fest supports confidence in self-wellness and encourages people to engage with their health in ways that feel achievable and human.
Who DOSE Fest is for
DOSE Fest is for everyone.
You do not need to be “into wellbeing” or have any prior experience. You can come on your own or with others. You can join in as much or as little as you like.
If you are curious about feeling better in yourself, connecting with others, or discovering new ways to support your wellbeing, you are welcome here.
A festival with a bigger purpose
DOSE Fest is the flagship initiative of The Happiness Equation CIC, a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to improving physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing through creativity, connection, and community-led experiences.
The festival is part of a wider commitment to making wellbeing more accessible, inclusive, and rooted in local communities.
