"The people from the recovery community who I met the first time I came to a Recovery Festival were full of hope, compassion and creative energy. They were open to change and to finding and empowering the best in one another. The Recovery Festival transformed the way I engaged with my work, with the world around me, and with the world within me."

We had a great time!
It was our 11th year of celebrating
all things recovery,
at Trinity Centre on
Thursday 20th June 2024
The Recovery Festival is the biggest recovery focused event in the South West. Each year we create an atmosphere of fun, hopefulness and inclusivity, allowing us to meet as equals and be inspired by one another. We celebrate the achievements of our community and offer the opportunity to learn new skills and build support networks.
On the main stage in 2024 we had Milly on Air, MoYah, Rosina Buck, The Velveteen Orkestra, Wizz, The Daffodillos, Morning After Drama, and Rising Voices.
The speakers at Speakers Corner shared with us their varied and inspiring stories of recovery.
We had stalls from 40 support agencies, as well as holistic healing and wellbeing treatments, haircuts and creative workshops, mutual aid taster sessions and face painting - plus delicious free food and refreshments!!
