Last Saturday, 6th June 2026, the picturesque Belvedere House, Gardens and Park came alive with vibrant energy as the Well Westmeath Expo blossomed into a fantastic celebration of health, wellbeing, and community spirit.

Organised by Healthy Communities and Healthy Westmeath, this free event ran from 11am to 4pm and welcomed record-breaking attendance throughout the day. It provided a wonderful opportunity to showcase the wide range of vibrant, healthy lifestyle opportunities available across the county.

The event featured an exciting lineup of activities, including music, dance, nature walks, tai chi, fun free play games, face painting, circus skills, and a chance to try out various physical activities. Designed with all ages in mind, the family-friendly atmosphere ensured there was something enjoyable and accessible for everyone.

We were delighted to have Westmeath Sports Partnership, Youth Work Ireland Midlands, Leinster Rugby, and Westmeath GAA leading activities and encouraging participation, helping create a lively and inclusive environment.

The Information Village was also a hub of activity throughout the day, offering valuable resources and engagement opportunities for attendees. A hug thank you to all the 28 information stand holders in attendance.

Adding to the festive atmosphere, the Emerald Lakes Academy of Dance, alongside their talented guests, filled the courtyard with music and dance performances, bringing joy and energy to all in attendance.

We extend our sincere thanks to Lidl Mullingar for their generous sponsorship of water and fruit, helping to keep attendees refreshed and energised. We are also deeply grateful to Belvedere House & Gardens and Westmeath Civil

Defence for their ongoing support in hosting this wonderful event.

We look forward to seeing you again at this event in 2027!
