Mind Body Spirit Festival Unveils Its First-Ever Enchanted Area for Families

13–15 November 2026 | NEC, Birmingham | Tickets Available Now

Imagine walking into the Mind Body Spirit Festival and finding a doorway to somewhere enchanted. Soft light, gentle stories, sparkle in the air, and a space that welcomes parents and their little ones to explore wellbeing side by side.

This November, that place becomes real. Mind Body Spirit Festival introduces the Enchanted Area, a brand-new child-friendly sanctuary at the NEC Birmingham. Designed for children from babes in arms up to early teens, together with their parents and guardians, the Enchanted Area invites families to slow down, connect and discover the magic of mindfulness as one.

The heart of the Enchanted Area is a programme of short and sweet 30-minute sessions: long enough to learn something lovely, short enough to keep little ones spellbound. Longer daily drop-in sessions will also run throughout the festival.

Every session is designed for parents, guardians and children to experience together, enjoying shared moments of calm, wonder and connection. Children and parents alike can experience and learn ‘Tapping for children’, offering simple, playful techniques to help calm big feelings. Curl up and listen to our storytelling session, full of magical tales to spark imagination and kindness. Our resident Mermaids will be offering mindfulness for children – gentle breathing and relaxation with an underwater twist. No magical place would be complete without a crafting space - for hands on making to take home and fairy hair sparkles for a shimmer of magic.

Waved into being by The Fairy Whisperer

The Enchanted Area is curated by Karen Kay, The Fairy Whisperer, bestselling Hay House author and oracle card creator. Karen has hosted her own events and Fairy Festivals since the mid-1990s, and now she is waving her magic wand over this new family space at Mind Body Spirit.

“I'm super-excited to bring this magical space into being in Birmingham next month. As a mother of two (they’re all grown up now!), I know how important it is to provide things to do for little ones. So flowing with the spiritual theme of the MBS, the new Enchanted area will provide plenty of experiences to participate in, and I’m looking forward to welcoming parents, guardians and young ones." said Karen "Children are natural mystics. They already know how to wonder, imagine and feel deeply. The Enchanted Area is a place where parents can remember that too, and where families can share a little magic together. I can't wait to welcome everyone in."
