Welcome to Footsteps Festival
Welcome to Footsteps Festival, an online celebration of living well with pain. Footsteps Festival was developed by people who live with pain and professionals in pain management, supported by Live Well with Pain.
Footsteps Festival takes a creative approach to living well with persistent pain. It brings people together, with a eclectic and fun mix of free online events on everything from understanding your pain, to finding new and creative ways of living well despite it. Events are happening right across our Footsteps Festival site.
Check out our festival zones:
Main Stage- Headline events
Wellbeing Tent – help to feel better
The People Place- friends, family & fun
Pain and the Brain – science stuff
Active Zone – fun with movement
Creative Corner – everyone creates
Street Kitchen- food, nutrition & ideas

The festival team has worked with artists, health practitioners and well-known arts companies such as Opera North and Balbir Singh Dance Company to create a festival full of inspiring events. Many of these are published on this website.
