Event Description:
The Hearing Wellness Festival is a first-of-its-kind event celebrating sound, inclusion, and well-being. Backed by the UK Government through Arts Council England, the festival raises awareness of noise pollution and hearing health while making live events more accessible to all.
Taking place in Hackney, London from March 3-9, 2025, the festival features acoustic performances, interactive workshops, and sensory experiences designed for everyone, including those who are noise-sensitive or hard of hearing. Five grassroots music venues will be upgraded with Audio Inclusivity measures, ensuring a lasting impact beyond the festival.
From hearing health checks to immersive sound experiences, the festival explores how sound shapes our lives and how we can create more inclusive environments. Whether you’re a music lover, health professional, or just curious, the Hearing Wellness Festival offers a unique space to listen, learn, and connect.
