Wellfest celebrates its tenth anniversary next year

The largest outdoor fitness and wellness festival in Ireland and Europe will be celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2026.

WellFest 2026 will take place at IMMA, Royal Hospital Kilmainham on Saturday, May 9th, and Sunday, May 10th, 2026.

The two-day weekend festival will showcase an exciting and diverse mix of wellness leaders, fitness icons, and cultural voices.

As part of its milestone year, WellFest has also announced its expansion to Northern Ireland for the first time, with a brand-new weekend festival in Ormeau Park, Belfast, later in September.

Headlining the Dublin festival is Newry native and fitness influencer Maeve Madden, who will bring her empowering Queens Don’t Quit workouts to the capital.

Joining her are two-time Olympic gold medallist Kellie Harrington, podcaster and mental health advocate Blindboy, and endurance athlete and wellness entrepreneur Spencer Matthews.

The line-up also includes renowned performance psychologist Gerry Hussey, Yoga with Maura, and high-energy favourites like POUND and BBX.

Festival-goers can look forward to Zumba with Hermann Melo, Yoga Le Naoise, foodie demos with Little Lou Cooks, power-posing workouts with House of Voga, and the return of the ever-popular Coppers The Workout.

Lewis Capaldi's therapist and bestselling author Owen O’Kane will explore mental health and anxiety, while former Great British Bake Off Finalist Kimberly Wilson brings her expertise as a chartered psychologist and passion for brain nutrition.

This powerful line-up marks just the beginning, with many more exciting names set to be revealed in the months ahead as part of WellFest’s 10-year celebrations.

In addition to Maeve Madden, who will headline both Dublin and Belfast next year, the first wave of acts for the Northern Ireland festival will be announced later this month, with many more names for the Dublin line-up to be revealed in the months ahead. Both festivals promise a powerful mix of international talent, homegrown experts, and fresh voices, leading hundreds of fitness classes, wellness talks, cooking demos, and family-friendly activities.
