Turner Contemporary

This winter, Turner Contemporary presents the Winter Wellness Festival 2026. A three-week programme that reflects on what it means to care for ourselves and for one another.

Bringing together movement, sound, shared meals, creative workshops and reflective conversations, the festival offers experiences centred on grounding, connection and renewal.

You’re invited to slow down, notice more and settle into winter’s softer rhythm.

Q&A with Katherine May & Gong Bath with Cherelle Sappleton

Conversation. Ritual. Sound. Stillness. Open the festival with us and settle into winter’s slower rhythm.
