From smoothie bikes, where people could challenge themselves to make a smoothie while peddling a bike, to archery and zorbing, the free event was a funpacked day.

There was food tasting sessions, arts and crafts, yoga classes and more.

Everyone Health, who hosted the Feel Good Festival, is the healthy lifestyle provider commissioned by Southend Council.

There was entertainment on the day from Hands4Voices Choir, WD Studio’s Dance School, Essex Heels, Kangoo Jumps, Strollercise, RJ CAMP Martial arts and comedian Sherry Fuller.

Amy Young, everyone health service manager and professional lead for nutrition, said: ‘I am so pleased that the Everyone Heath Feel Good Festival has become a popular annual event here in Southend.

“It is great to see so many people taking care of their health and wellbeing and having fun along the way.

“The event is always a great chance for lots of networking in Southend, as we really do have so much to offer locally. Despite some English seaside rain, everyone, including our special guests, enjoyed the day.”
