Wellnergy Festival is excited to announce its plans to become one of the most inclusive festivals in the UK as it partners with Spectrum First to create the first ever neuro-inclusivity festival safe space which will cater for all neurotypes.
Attending events involving large groups of people or crowds can be difficult for neurodivergent people. This can create issues on a daily basis when needing to do things that are necessary, such as food shopping as well as impacting things that people might want to experience, including going to events like festivals.
Hopefully, this partnership will mean that people who would not usually go to such spaces feel safe in the knowledge that not only can they attend, but that they will be fully welcomed, understood and supported when they do.
Nick Steiert, founder of Wellnergy says, “Wellnergy is a very inclusive brand, so when it was suggested that we try and foster this even more by making our festival neuro-inclusive, it lit a spark inside of me and I jumped at the opportunity to try and make this happen.”
Gemma Barstow, Spectrum First added, “festivals, art and culture have been shown to have a positive impact on neurodivergent individuals, many of whom are creative and artistically minded themselves, however research has often shown these spaces to be inaccessible for a wide variety of reasons including, but absolutely not limited to, their sensory experiences.”
Working with Wellnergy will allow Spectrum First to bring its understanding of neuro inclusion to a festival space for the first time, focusing on how to support neurodivergent people to feel safe, supported but most importantly able to enjoy a festival whilst connecting with others.
Barstow adds, “We have published an article which demonstrates the choices we are making about this pilot and how best to create the space. We will also be posting information about what to expect during specific stages of the festival. All of the design is being developed with and by neurodivergent people. Our mantra at Spectrum First is that there is no best practice, because we continually strive to better our methods, the same mantra that will be applied to this project!”
About Spectrum First
With a diverse and skilled team, Spectrum First are informed by cutting-edge critical neurodivergent research and lived experience. Our support is highly adaptable to meet individual needs and as a values driven company we prioritise the people we support alongside our neurodiverse team. We have had over 20 years experience successfully supporting neurominority people and our team has grown significantly in that time as a result of word of mouth and our company ethos.
Echoes From Agartha is one of the most cultured and unique blends of music, art and travel in the world. It runs from July 26 – 31st 2023 in the breathtaking ancient landscapes of Cappadocia in the heart of Anatolia, Turkey and this year will be headlined by Bedouin, Blond:ish, Dixon, Keinemusik, Echonomist, Guy J, Parallelle, Caleesi & Sarah Kreis, Savage & She, Mercan Dede & Secret Tribe (Live), Murat Uncuoglu and many more.
Echoes From Agartha happens across different venues that are all unique and utterly magical. The Zion which is inspired by the Matrix and located in a narrow canyon with tall rock formations that hug the dance floor, creating a cave-like illusion. The IO, a valley surrounded by ancient caves and fairy chimneys dating back to the 4th century and The Yunak Evleri, a rooftop venue that hosts a special sunset party surrounded by the cave rooms. New for this year is Saruhan Caravansary, Friday show in a historic caravanserai, or roadside inn, from the Seljuks Empire where travellers could rest and recover from the day’s journey. There will also be an extra after party for 1200 people in Karakus, a vast ancient cave after the events in Zion and an extra opening cocktail party in the Argos Hotel.
The soundtrack is a deep, spine tingling mix of classy and quality house and electronic from some of the most revered names in the game such as Saga party founders and Human By Default label heads Bedouin, the melodic mastery of Blond:ish, Innervisions founder Dixon, the ever on form Keinemusik, Greek stylist Echonomist, prog innovator Guy J, the acclaimed Parallelle duo plus more from the likes of Caleesi & Sarah Kreis, Savage & She, Mercan Dede & Secret Tribe (Live), Murat Uncuoglu, Erdi Irmak, Borak, Cihangir Cinar, Eda, Ezgi, Zoe Dona and The Ace Brothers.
Away from the music, Echoes from Agartha has a wealth of local culture, customs and cuisines to explore. You can plot your own adventure with horseback riding, open air museum visits, classy dinner parties, traditional Turkish arts workshops, cave exploration and hot air balloon rides. All this is for only a few lucky people as the capacity remains limited despite huge global demand, all as a way of keeping a special intimate vibe at the festival.
Echoes from Agartha is a dream-like experience, a mix of music, culture and travel and once in a lifetime opportunity to head to this most historic region with a carefully curated soundtrack.

After Boris Brejcha in 2021 and a stunning 2022 closing event with more than 8000 party people in front of Paul Kalkbrenner, underground master chief Solomun will serve up a tremendous show in this monumental arena. The house titan experienced Family Piknik for the first time in 2015 with an exclusive back-to-back with Adriatique. That was before he turned to be one of the true heavyweights of Ibiza and one of the most in demand headliners in the scene.
Running his labels Diynamic & 2diy4 for more than 15 years, Solomun has been one of the most influentialtastemakers in the industry, supporting many different musical genres. His last studio album ‘Nobody is Not Loved’, released in 2021, showcased ever more his crossover vision for electronic music, sometimes far away from the dancefloor energy he always shares behind the decks.
He rarely plays in the South of France and his set for Family Piknik will be the first since 2019. It’s anevent not to miss and one that confirms Family Piknik’s capacity to regularly seduce the biggest electronic artists in the game. Adding Solomun to its 2023 all-stars summer line-up built around Carl Cox, Ben Böhmer, Adam Beyer, Anna and many other top-level artists, the French festival is even more essential than ever this year.

Canvas Yard is a brand new collaboration between Moda Living and New Citizens. It is Leeds’ largest outdoor event space right in the heart of the city and it gets transformed with cutting edge audio-visual production and a powerful sound system that never fails to deliver the perfect soundtrack for the 4000 attendees who have already experienced the magic of partying there.
Says Stu, “The New Citizens team and I are really happy with how these first events at Canvas Yard went. With such a lack of cultural space in Leeds it was amazing to witness the Hacienda and then Defected audience enjoy themselves and the hard work from all our core team, freelancers and suppliers paying off.”
Eleanor Trigwell, Brand Manager at Moda Living, said: “It was fantastic to see the Hacienda brought to life at Canvas Yard, in what was an amazing celebration of community, collaboration and, of course, music. We are proud to be working with New Citizens to deliver landmark cultural moments such as The Hacienda, and we’re looking forward to an exciting summer of more outstanding events at Leeds’s biggest new outdoor event space.”
The first historic event saw the legendary FAC51 Hacienda head to Leeds for an open air event on Sunday 30th April 2023 with a special Bank Holiday Weekend all dayer with Roger Sanchez, Todd Terry, Dimitri From Paris, Derrick Carter, Greg Wilson, DJ Paulette, Ralph Lawson and Marshall all laying it down in fine style.
After that, influential house music label Defected made a huge return to Leeds for their first show in the city in over five years on Coronation Bank Holiday Sunday, May 7th, when the likes of Gorgon City, Hannah Wants, Low Steppa, Sam Divine, Arielle Free and Rio Tashan all played.
Next up is the city’s longest running and most loved gathering, The Garden Party. This year it adds an all new second stage with a line up including its most diverse and forward thinking talents to date with Daniel Avery, Pawsa, Skream, Paul Woolford, LF System, Special Request, Sherelle, Bradley Zero, Todd Terje, Palms Trax and Dr Banana all playing. Next to the music, there is an array of tasty eats and drinks in the food village and a relaxing chill out area making this the most complete Garden Party yet.
Canvas Yard has already set a new party standard in Leeds, and it is only just getting started.
