A Celebration of Wellbeing at Arthur Ellis' Festival


Our festival is a bit different to having stall and occasional talks - we feel that wellbeing is best when you can get stuck in!


The Arthur Ellis Summer Festival features a dynamic range of exhibitors and activities hosted by local businesses, clubs, and community organisations in our home town of Milton Keynes. Since 2024, over 2,000 attendees are immersed in a lively atmosphere that celebrates creativity, physical activity, and intellectual exploration, all while gaining insight into the mental health benefits that each pastime offers.

Our festival wouldn't be possible without our sponsors, which in 2025 included John Lewis, TXM Group, Brioche Pasquier and the Milton Keynes Community Foundation.

Support our cause and come along!

The Arthur Ellis Summer Festival is free to attend and more than just an event; it’s part of our ongoing commitment to mental health awareness and community support.

We're changing how people get help, and you can be a part of that too.

Discover the Power of Pastimes

We believe that utilising hobbies can mean they become vital tools for nurturing both mental and emotional well-being. Our mission is to offer a platform where individuals and families can explore new passions, connect with others who share similar interests, and experience the profound, transformative benefits of engaging in activities that bring joy, creativity, and fulfilment. Whether it’s discovering a new hobby or deepening an existing one, we aim to inspire and support everyone in finding meaningful ways to enrich their lives.
