London's First LGBTQ+ Wellness Event Launched for Pride Month

This Pride Month, a transformative new event is set to debut in London’s Canary Wharf. Pride in Wellness, running from June 26–29, 2025, will offer a four-day sanctuary focused on holistic wellbeing for the LGBTQIA+ community and allies.

Polly Shute, co-founder of Out & Wild Festival and longstanding LGBTQIA+ advocate, created Pride in Wellness to address the need for more inclusive spaces that prioritise mental health and connection, especially due to the current challenges, exclusion, and discrimination faced by the LGBTQIA+ community. Pride in Wellness is an extension of Polly’s ongoing commitment and mission to create safe spaces and events for the community on an ongoing, national basis.

Pride in Wellness is a collaborative effort between Out & Wild Events and Proud Events, both queer-run organisations dedicated to creating inclusive experiences. The event is curated by Sam Adams (she/her), a life coach and breathwork guide, and Emy Mendoza (he/him), a reiki master and crystal healer.

The initiative is proudly supported by Canary Wharf Group and partners with leading LGBTQIA+ charities including Stonewall, elop, and Rainbow Mind.
