For many, Southwold is a haven of peace and relaxation: a town that makes the soul soar. My Southwold, Our Happy Place took this feeling as inspiration, creating a mini wellbeing festival over a beautiful October weekend.
Saturday 22nd October 2022
The Market Place Southwold event centred around the idea of Southwold as a place of profound calm and beauty - a hub of creative wellbeing and relaxation.
Taking place in the stunning grounds of St Edmund’s Church and the surrounding Bartholomew Green, My Southwold, Our Happy Place saw a raft of wellbeing-themed activities pop up across the area, accompanied by a programme of talented young musicians in the church itself.
Feedback from locals and visitors alike was incredibly positive, with many commenting on how the event had tapped into the unique sense of peace and positivity that the town embodies.
