B Corp Fest 2025 lit up The Wellbeing Farm with purpose, positivity, and powerful ideas. From the moment guests arrived, it was clear this wasn’t just another event. It was a day to remember, filled with laughter, learning, and a whole lot of love for conscious business.
The entire day was buzzing with energy. From keynote talks to community action, every part of B Corp Fest 2025 lived up to its name: Business As a Power For Good. And yes, while I might have collapsed with a glass of wine and some chocolate the second I got home, I was absolutely buzzing inside. My head didn’t stop spinning with ideas all night. Tired? Yes. But energised? A thousand times more.
Inspiring speakers and a sea of purpose
We had an outstanding line-up of speakers at B Corp Fest 2025. Big names like Patrick Grant, Andy MacNae, Isabel McLennan, Angela Moran, Ian Steel, Sophie Lee, Kevin Karaca, Molly Gould, Leigh McLaughlin, Dr Zoe Detko, and Richard Dickson took to the stage. Each brought a unique spark, sharing stories that stirred hearts and minds.
Patrick Grant’s keynote stole the show for me. As someone with ADHD who often gets their dopamine hit from a cheeky bit of impulse shopping, his message about conscious consumerism hit hard. “Choose to buy things that have meaning and bring happiness.” Simple. Profound. It stuck.
Community, laughter and Wombles
B Corp Fest 2025 wasn’t just about ideas – it was about action and joy. My incredible team even dressed up as Wombles. Yes, actual Wombles. If you saw us, you’ll know what I mean. The vibe was playful, warm and welcoming. Exactly the kind of atmosphere we believe business should be all about.
One of my favourite moments? Watching the llamas react to the Wombles. Let’s just say it was… unexpected. Their expressions were priceless and had everyone in stitches.
A festival with a heart
This wasn’t just an event. It was a community coming together to do good. We collected food for the local food bank, raising spirits and supplies. A fab food parcel is heading out next week thanks to your generous donations.
You also blew us away with the book swap. Every donated book has found a new home in our growing community library. That small act is going to spark joy for so many visitors.
Oh, and the raffle! Huge thanks to everyone who donated a gift or bought a ticket. It made a real difference and added an extra touch of sparkle.
Thank yous and tiny glitches
No event is perfect. Yes, we had a couple of minor IT gremlins (who doesn’t?), but honestly, they didn’t stand a chance against the sheer positive force that is B Corp Fest 2025.
Massive thanks go out to Andrew Leeming, our superb MC, and Victor Giannandrea for their support throughout the day. And to every single guest, speaker, donor, dancer, Womble, book-bringer and food-sharer – thank you. You made it magic.
Walking away with purpose
I left B Corp Fest 2025 with thirty fresh ideas. Some are small tweaks. Others are big, bold dreams. And all of them are rooted in purpose. That’s what this festival does. It plants seeds of impact that will grow over time.
We’re already planning ahead. That’s right: B Corp Fest 2026 is coming. And it’s going to be a true five-year celebration. Mark your diaries now: Wednesday 3 June 2026. Expect more inspiration, more community, and even more purpose. We’ll be back bigger, bolder and bursting with new ideas.
But wait, there’s more. Conscious Day will return on 13 March 2026. Another key date to watch.
Let’s keep the energy going
B Corp Fest 2025 reminded me of what’s possible when businesses come together with shared values and a desire to do better. This wasn’t about status or profit. It was about people, planet and purpose.
So, while I may still be recovering from the sugar crash and running on no sleep, I’m riding high on everything B Corp Fest 2025 gave me.
Let’s keep making noise. Keep showing up. Proving that business really can be a power for good.
And most importantly…
Be More Womble!
