  • If this is your first time setting up an exhibitor space, don’t worry, we can help you make it feel professional, welcoming, and aligned with your practice. Whether you want to keep things simple or create a full branded presence, we’ll guide you through the options and help you design a space that supports your goals.

    Before you begin, explore what you want your space and investment in the day to achieve:

    • Build new client base

    • Explain your service clearly

    • Answer questions

    • Demonstrate your service

    • Connect with other practitioners

    Your goals shape the design, and you can spend as little or as much as you like.

    Start Simple

    A beautiful, effective exhibitor space doesn’t need to be complicated. Many practitioners begin with:

    • A tidy tablecloth

    • Table‑top corflute signage or a printer A4 or A3 sign in a clear tabletop display

    • Flyers or brochures

    • A practice chair or small piece of equipment for people to try (e.g., acupressure demo, posture check, massage chair)

    This setup is affordable, approachable, and perfect for service‑based practitioners who want to meet people and explain what they do.

    Go Bigger (if you want to)

    If you’d like a more polished or branded presence, we can help you design and produce:

    • Pull‑up banners

    • Branded tablecloths

    • Stretch fabric zip‑up ‘media walls’ with pole system

    These elements can be used again and again, at future markets, open days, workshops, or studio events.

  • Your contribution helps us create something far larger than any one offering: a shared movement that elevates local practitioners, strengthens community wellbeing, and draws thousands of people together for a day of connection, learning and transformation.

    In 2026, Golden Wellness Festival expands beyond the festival day to introduce three new industry offerings designed to strengthen visibility, connection, and collaboration across our region’s wellness sector:

    • Golden Wellness Industry Network

    • Golden Wellness Online Directory

    • Golden Wellness Print Program & Directory

    Together, these create a trusted central hub where our community can discover practitioners, makers, teachers, and wellness experiences that reflect our shared values of environmental sustainability, ethical care, and the meeting point between ancient wisdom and contemporary practice.

    By contributing a small amount collectively, our industry partners help generate a big regional impact, increased visibility, stronger networks, and a festival that becomes a major annual drawcard for locals and visitors alike.
