Find the best wellness events happening across the North East this winter, plus discover some wellness hacks to keep you feeling your best. 

As the days get shorter and the temperature drops, it’s easy to feel run down. So, how can we boost our wellness during these chilly months?

The North East has got you covered with a lineup of exciting wellness events this winter… 

Winter wellness hacks to boost your mood this winter

The shorter days and endless grey skies can leave us feeling isolated, sluggish and even sad. So, how can we keep our spirits high and our minds healthy when during this time?

  • Prioritise self-care

The chilly months are the perfect excuse to level up your self-care game. With cold weather doing its thing, your skin and hair deserve that extra bit of TLC. Think cosy nights of skincare slugging, indulging in rich hair masks and pampering your hands with soft cream.

  • Enjoy ambient lighting 

Darker days call for ambient lighting that can turn your home into a glowing sanctuary. Picture twinkling fairy lights, flickering candles, soft LED hues and warm lamps creating the ultimate relaxing atmosphere. 

  • Arrange your space

Spending more time inside during the winter is the perfect excuse to rearrange your space and get organised. With more time at home, why not tackle that clutter and turn your space into a beautifully organised haven?

  • Nourish from within

Don’t forget to take care of your health with supplements, particularly vitamin D. This supplement is a hormone your skin produces when sunlight hits, which we lose out on in the winter. This superstar nutrient is key to our overall wellness.

  • Cherish your circle

Talking to loved ones is a wonderful way to lift your spirits. So, keep those connections strong, catch up with friends and family, make plans to explore Christmas markets, cosy up in coffee shops, join an exercise class, or even just invite them over for dinner.

  • Recharge at a wellness event 

This winter, dive into some local wellness events. Whether it’s a wellness workshop or a peaceful sound bath, there’s no better way to recharge your body and mind. And, why not share the experience by bringing a loved one along?
