The Tolbooth presents a day of free, fun and informal activities designed to enhance mental wellbeing as part of the Scottish Mental Health Arts Festival. Our singing, art and dance sessions aim to equip participants with tools for improving their mental health, as well as providing a fun and uplifting experience.  

The event is made up of a series of workshops, each will run twice throughout the day:  

Sing It Out – A relaxed and accessible singing workshop where participants will be guided through the therapeutic benefits of singing and given the opportunity to sing it out!  

Breathe, Move, Dance – An introductory dance workshop focusing on mindful movement, connecting with our bodies and embracing the ways we move.  

Mindful Art – A creative session designed to introduce participants to the calming effects of engaging with their artistic side.  

The day will also include self-service activities, a collaborative ‘gratitude’ tree and a performance from Tolbooth Voices choir.
