GM Live Well | Spring Festival 2026

Get ready for the GM Live Well Spring Festival!

Posted: 14 January 2026

After two years of co-designing and growing the GM Live Well movement together, Monday 9 March to Monday 23 March 2026 will mark the first-ever Live Well Spring Festival.

The Spring Festival will pop up locally across neighbourhoods, community spaces, parks, high streets and online, showcasing the people, places and partnerships that bring Live Well to life every day across Greater Manchester.

We’re inviting organisations, groups and partners to get involved as festival curators, hosting pop-ups, activities or events that reflect their local communities and priorities.

The GM Live Well team will be on hand to support you every step of the way, and a Live Well Spring Festival Fund will be available to help support participation and event costs where possible.

Full details of the Spring Festival can be found here.

If you are interested in becoming a festival curator and hosting a festival pop-up, please share your idea via this link. To be included in the festival programme, all ideas must be shared by Friday 30th January.

To stay updated, sign up to the GM Live Well newsletter by emailing GMLiveWell@greatermanchester-ca.gov.uk.
