London’s first Interfaith Wellbeing Festival unveils full line-up

The full programme for London’s inaugural Interfaith Wellbeing Festival has been announced, with Jewish and Muslim-led organisations joining forces to offer a Bank Holiday celebration of sport, culture, and community at Paddington Recreation Ground on Monday 25 August.

Co-produced by the Faith & Belief Forum, Maccabi GB, and four other faith-based partners, the festival will feature free activities designed to promote physical, emotional, spiritual, and social wellbeing.

Highlights include musical performances hosted by Faiths in Tune – with acts ranging from the London Male Jewish Choir to the Shumei Taiko Ensemble – a community football masterclass with Queen’s Park Rangers FC, meditation, and reflection zones, wellbeing workshops, and a diverse food court offering kosher and halal options.

Matthew Gold, London Communities Coordinator at the Faith & Belief Forum, said: “We believe that wellbeing is a holistic activity – it’s not about one thing or the other, it’s about having a healthy balance of the physical, emotional, social, and spiritual. This is a day for families and individuals to reconnect with themselves, with each other, and experience something new.”

Organisers say the event is a “true example of co-production”, with dozens of charities and community groups involved – from Mitzvah Day and The Delicate Mind to Salaam Peace and Made in Hackney.

The Interfaith Wellbeing Festival runs from 11:30am to 4:30pm on Monday, 25 August, at Paddington Recreation Ground, Maida Vale. Entry is free, with advance registration at interfaithfestival.org.
