Hylands Estate celebrates mind, body and spirit with new wellness event

A new wellness event is coming to Chelmsford’s Hylands Estate in March 2025, celebrating all things health and wellbeing. Holistic Hylands presents a full day of wellness workshops and health talks designed to nurture your mind, body and spirit.

The event will transform the neo-classical villa into a tranquil environment where you can engage with holistic experts, explore new wellness practices, exercise mindfulness, and unwind in beautiful spaces to relaxing music. Attendees will also be able to browse wellbeing products and enjoy refreshments focused on healthy eating.

Empowering workshops and talks

Holistic Hylands will include yoga classes and sound baths.

Holistic Hylands will see trained specialists deliver relaxing and balancing sound baths, yoga classes, meditation sessions, Pilates, and mindfulness classes in the Drawing Room and the Library of Hylands House. Self-love and feminine embodiment coach, Jessica Hayes, will also run a special self-love workshop, in which participants will learn to nurture a deeper sense of self-compassion and self-appreciation.

Expert guest speakers such as intuitive business coach, Zoe from The Vibe Education, will also deliver inspiring and educational talks on topics such as Human Design, personal growth and self-empowerment. Taking place throughout the day in the Banqueting Room, each talk is designed to help you to learn how to connect with yourself, boost your confidence and find joy and inner peace.

Wellbeing experts at Holistic Hylands will include Zoe from The Vibe Education and Jessica Hayes.

Wellbeing products and healthy refreshments

Meanwhile, next door in the Grand Pavilion, a mini-wellness market will be open to browse all day. Holistic traders will include crystal sellers, and natural and organic skincare businesses. There’ll also be therapists offering mini treatments such as reflexology and Indian head massage.

Between all the workshops, talks and shopping, you’ll will be able to grab a healthy bite to eat. Food stalls will be set up at the front of the house, with a focus on healthy options such as smoothies, buddha bowls and vegan dishes, rather than processed and fried foods.

Visitors to Holistic Hylands will be able to shop varied wellness products and stop for a healthy bite to eat.

Cllr Natacha Dudley, Cabinet Member for an Active Chelmsford, says this brand-new event provides a fresh opportunity for people across Chelmsford to engage with healthy living and discover holistic wellbeing practices:

“

“One of Chelmsford City Council’s aims in Our Chelmsford, Our Plan is to support our residents to live healthy lives. We often underestimate the power of mindfulness and other holistic practices in improving our mental and physical health, but with many wellness practices set to be showcased at Holistic Hylands, this new event has the potential to unlock an entirely new approach to wellbeing for many of us. I’m excited to explore it in March next year and see how it can help us all work towards living a full and healthy life.”
