“We’re seeking Expressions of Interest from local business in the health and wellness sector to become Health Hubs for the festival and to help us offer a week of programming.
“As part of the festival, we’ll promote activities you have on offer at your place of business and we’re also looking for businesses to participate in the major event day on April 5, 2020, on the Gosford Waterfront and Central Coast Stadium, ” Cannard said.
The types health and wellness activities that the program and event is looking to attract include fitness classes, cooking classes, yoga demonstrations, health and well being workshops, educational seminars, and children’s specific well being classes.
