A group of people is practicing yoga on black mats in an outdoor setting surrounded by greenery and modern architecture. They are in a plank position, aligned in rows under a large glass structure with wooden beams.

Wharf Wellness is returning to Canary Wharf next week, taking place from Wednesday 5th – Saturday 8th June, to celebrate all things health and wellbeing with a packed programme of events, activities, and pop-ups. Whether visitors have 30 minutes spare, a lunch break away from their desk or a free evening to enjoy, this year’s event is offering experiences to nurture the body, mind and soul.

The four-day event is jam-packed with free events. Fitness sessions include a high energy, outdoor Barry’s HIIT class, a padel taster session at Padium and a lululemon Run Club in partnership with Blank Street Coffee for World Run Day. There will also be a Bobbi Brown makeup masterclass a beauty brand that empowers women to embrace and enhance their individual beauty. A mindful colouring workshop, hosted by Samme Snow, will let visitors' creativity and imagination run free, and a one-hour hands on session with the pastry chef from mallow – famed for their vegan chocolate mousse cake – will help culinary enthusiasts learn the art of plant-based baking.

An exciting addition to the Wharf Wellness line-up this year, Verte will be hosting a clothes-swap shop filled with pre-loved and unworn premium high street clothing. In a bid to tackle fast fashion while keeping wardrobes fresh, visitors are encouraged to donate clothes and swap them for something new. Verte will also be offering complimentary clothing repairs and alterations on Thursday 6th June, from 12-4pm.

A panel event surrounding circularity in fashion, ‘Is there such a thing as sustainable fashion?’, will take place on Thursday 6th June from 6-7pm, for an evening of discussion with some of the industry’s leading experts.

Those looking to spend the day at Wharf Wellness can dine at over 70 cafes, restaurants, and bars, providing dining options for all ages and culinary critics. Visitors can enjoy British classics at The Ivy, a range of coffees at WatchHouse and nose-to-tail dining at the newly opened, Roe, from the team behind Fallow.
