Supported by Watersedge

Meno-fest 2026 takes place on Wednesday 7 October, from 9.15am to 3.30pm, at Worcester Rugby Football Club, Hindlip, and forms part of Menopause Awareness Month and Wychavon's Wellbeing in Wychavon campaign.

The event will bring together healthcare professionals, experts and people with lived experience to explore the many ways peri-menopause and menopause can affect health, work, relationships and everyday life.

Whether you are experiencing menopause yourself, supporting a loved one, working in healthcare, or simply want to learn more, Meno-fest offers practical advice, expert insight and the opportunity to hear real stories from local people.

One of the keynote speakers will be Dr Helen Wall, who recently featured in ITV's Menopause Dismissed investigation into women's experiences of menopause care. Dr Wall will discuss the important and often overlooked links between menopause and ADHD.

Attendees will also hear from Sally Williams, a local resident whose powerful personal story helped spark conversations about menopause and mental health across Worcestershire. Sally will join Dr Louisa James to share a story of hope and recovery.
