The wellbeing event of the summer — Getahead Festival — is back on Friday 14th June in London with 24 hours of incredible content for your enjoyment. You can go from flowing yoga, to inspiring keynotes, to intimate workshops, to cutting edge comedy & DJs. All with a few drinks…and a whole load of new friends.
Our mission is to help a billion people — including you — ‘get ahead without burning out’. Last year we launched our first festival & over 1000 people came! This year we’re back even bigger & better with a world-class lineup of speakers and performers from 6am Friday June 14th — 6am Saturday June 15th.
But like any festival the big issue you face is…what will you go and see?!
To make it even more tricky, this year we have double the fun…
You can enjoy Getahead Festival events across two South London venues — Omeara & Ministry of Sound — each a short 10 minute walk from the other.
Decisions decisions
We’ve designed the programme to fit 3 themes:
- Mental & Physical Health
- Personal & Professional Development
- Fun: music, comedy, meeting great people
These are the ‘pillars’ behind everything that we do…because we reckon that if you’ve got these in balance you’re 80% of the way there.
You can search each of these 3 categories & see the full line up on our web site: www.getahead.life/festival
