DeStresstival
Welcome to DeStresstival, a FREE cross-campus festival for University of Warwick students.
Hosted by the Active Wellbeing team, the festival spans over a fortnight and provides the perfect opportunity for you and your friends to focus on mindfulness, relaxation, and de-stressing.
We know how pressurised exams can be, so we’re helping you unwind and decompress through bespoke events such as a nature walk, pop-up sport sessions, self-care meditation and much more. Take your mind off exams and do some de-stressing.
Limited spaces available!
