Join Us at Sekhmet’s Sanctuary –

A Celebration of Wellbeing, Art, and Culture!

We are thrilled to invite you to participate as a stallholder at Sekhmet’s Sanctuary, the dedicated wellness arena at Desi Fest Luton, taking place on July 19 and 20, 2025, in the beautiful Wardown Park, Luton.

Desi Fest Luton’s Wellbeing Arena

This unique sanctuary event, run by NINE RED Presents (CIC), promises to be an enriching experience that celebrates wellbeing, art, and culture within our community. Sekhmet’s Sanctuary is inspired by the Wellness Arena at Sundon Square Garden, aiming to create a nurturing environment that promotes holistic wellness.

 

At Sekhmet’s Sanctuary, we aim to foster a nurturing atmosphere that promotes holistic wellness through diverse offerings, including informative workshops, inspiring performances, and engaging demonstrations. Our carefully designed horseshoe layout creates an inviting space where attendees can explore a wide range of wellness practices and artistic expressions while connecting with others who share a passion for health and creativity.

 

We believe that your participation would greatly enhance the experience for our visitors. Whether you have a wellness project, an artistic venture, or an informational booth, we would love to have you join our lineup of diverse stallholders. There’s no better way to showcase your work while connecting with individuals and organizations who are equally committed to fostering community wellbeing.

 

As we anticipate an exciting range of participants—from health professionals and artists to community-focused organisations—we hope you’ll consider being a vital part of this transformative initiative. Together, we can foster deeper community engagement and promote the importance of wellbeing through shared experiences that celebrate art and culture.
