A LOCAL firm is hosting a free happiness festival to cheer people up this Blue Monday.

Boo Coaching & Consulting will run online activities as part of the "Boo Monday" festival throughout the day, with a series of pre-recorded posts going out across the week.

Four live events will be held via Zoom, with tickets available via Eventbrite.

The day starts with a fitness session at 10am, before a card making lesson at 12pm.

From 1pm, people can join a 45 minute meeting of the gardening club, before finishing off the day with a virtual book club meeting, discussing The Midnight Library by Matt Haig at 7pm.

Later in the week, the team will post videos featuring a virtual winter walk, tips to stay calm and relaxed, and mindful moments in nature.

Two exercise videos will also be uploaded towards the end of the week.
