Recovery Festival returns to Bristol for 10th anniversary
Recovery Festival is set to provide a much-needed sense of community and creativity as it returns to Bristol for its 10th year.
The festival aims to support people who are battling addictions, connect people in recovery, and celebrate recovery communities across the South West.
Last year’s attendee, Rosie Phillips, chief executive at Developing Health and Independence, spoke highly of the festival, praising its representation of “the vibrant and diverse recovery scene (in the South West).”
