Walled Garden Mindfulness Sessions

Free outdoor mindfulness with live RAV drum music in Bangor Castle Walled Garden—1‑hour guided sessions, June–July.

Ards and North Down Borough Council are excited to announce once again we’ll be hosting *free* outdoor mindfulness sessions throughout June and July in Bangor Castle Walled Garden. Join us as you follow the breath, body, and the beat of the music to uncover new layers of self-understanding, in this guided musical, meditative journey all held in amongst the borough’s wonderful parks and woodlands. Each free 1-hour session includes live music played on a melodic RAV drum, plus carefully curated playlists of pre-recorded music supported by hand-made drums, shakers, and other musical instruments.

Meditation is guided with a focus on mind-body connection, to support emotional regulation. Perfect for both newcomers and the experienced alike, offering either a first feel for this kind of practice, or an opportunity to let go and immerse deeply in a guided outdoor session.
