Experience a thoughtfully curated cancer wellness festival – with expert talks and healing sessions

DATE

February 27, 2026

Designed for anyone affected by cancer, Brave Crab & Friends 2026 is a thoughtfully curated wellness festival in Wokingham featuring leading oncology specialists and restorative wellbeing sessions to help you feel informed, supported and empowered.

Brave Crab & Friends is a one-day Wisdom & Wellness Cancer Festival created for individuals touched by cancer — whether currently in treatment, navigating life post-treatment, or supporting someone they love.

Curated by Vicky Carroll, the festival is intentionally designed to provide care, attention, and meaningful support.

Taking place on Sunday 8 March 2026 at the scenic Easthampstead Park Hotel in Wokingham, the festival offers a welcoming space where attendees can feel seen, supported, and understood, surrounded by others walking a similar path.

The event features talks from expert oncology practitioners addressing common challenges during and after treatment, including sleep and fatigue, sexual health, lymphatic care, pain management, and more.

In addition to the informative talks, attendees can enjoy small-group wellbeing sessions such as cacao ceremonies, gong baths, and breathwork, all carefully selected to help regulate the nervous system, cultivate calm, and foster a sense of centeredness. These experiences provide moments of pause, reconnection, and restoration.

Keynote speakers include Helen Addis MBE (Titty Gritty), whose storytelling brings heart, humour, and hope; Rosamund Dean, journalist and author, offering practical guidance for navigating cancer care and maximizing support from medical teams; and Dr Nina Fuller-Shavel, an integrative medical doctor, presenting evidence-based insights on safely combining integrative approaches with standard oncology care.

The festival supports attendees as whole individuals, addressing physical, emotional, and psychological aspects of the cancer experience. By the end of the day, participants can leave feeling lighter, more informed, and more hopeful, equipped with practices and insights that support calm, empowerment, and resilience beyond the festival.

The experience is highly personal: attendees select the sessions that resonate most, allowing each person to shape a day that meets their unique needs.

A No-Risk Promise ensures peace of mind: if illness prevents attendance, tickets are fully refunded with no questions asked.

Tickets are priced from £60 to £80, offering the flexibility to design a personal and meaningful day.
