Mental Health Matters—Now More Than Ever
Let’s be honest—life can be hard. Stress, anxiety, burnout, grief, loneliness… these challenges don’t discriminate. That’s why events like ThinkFest! are so vital. They remind us that we’re not alone, that support is out there, and that mental health deserves just as much attention as physical health.
ThinkFest! breaks the stigma, opens conversations, and connects people with real tools and services that can make a difference.

Want to Be Part of It?
If you’re a group, charity, business, or service—big or small—that supports mental health and wellbeing, we’d LOVE to see you at our mental health market!

Let’s Talk. Let’s Think. Let’s Celebrate.
ThinkFest! is more than an event—it’s a movement. A reminder that talking helps, healing is possible, and community is powerful.
So grab your friends, bring the family, and come along to Vicar Lane on Saturday 17th May for a day filled with kindness, knowledge, connection, and joy.
Let’s get Derbyshire thinking about mental health—and talking about it too.
We’ll see you there!
