Two-day event in West Dorset to mark World Mental Health Day

AN event highlighting wellbeing – and how you can improve it – will run in Bridport to mark World Mental Health Day.

The event, And Breathe … Bridport, will take place across October 9 and 10, with the Burrough Harmony Centre working with a host of health and wellbeing organisations.

The two-day event will feature creative workshops, music, film, art and nature activities plus exercise, information stands and talks.

There’s a small charge or donation for some activities, others will be free.

And Breathe … Bridport will culminate with a finale show called Exhale at the Electric Palace, headlined by Isaiah Dreads and the Skalatans plus, fresh from Bestival, Ladies of the Lawn, alongside some spoken word performances.

Tickets, costing £10 or £5 for concessions, are available from the Electric Palace website or the Tourist Information Centre.

Anyone can contribute to Exhale by taking part in The Community Gratitude Photography project.

All they have to do is send a photo of something they are grateful for and a one-line explanation to andbreathe.bridport@harmonydropin.org.uk by October 1. A slide show of the photos will be screened during the evening.
