Mr Motivator and Dancing On Ice star Dan Whiston bringing new wellbeing festival to Blackpool
Hundreds of visitors are expected.
Fitness icon Mr Motivator and former Dancing on Ice star Dan Whiston are joining forces to launch a major new health and wellbeing festival in Blackpool.
The celebrity duo have announced Thrive Live, a one-day event designed to inspire people of all ages and abilities to improve their physical and mental wellbeing through fitness, movement and motivation.
Taking place at Village Hotel Blackpool on Saturday, September 19, 2026, the festival is expected to attract hundreds of visitors from across the UK.
Thrive Live will feature five experiences under one roof, including live fitness classes, dance sessions, accessible movement activities, motivational talks and an evening celebration. Dan Whiston will host dance-based experiences alongside guest instructors, while chair-based and low-impact sessions aim to ensure the event is accessible to everyone.
Attendees will also hear from inspirational speakers sharing practical advice on health, confidence, resilience and wellbeing before the day concludes with live entertainment and awards.
Mr Motivator said the event will give people the opportunity to “move more, feel inspired and leave with a renewed sense of energy and purpose”.
Dan Whiston added that Thrive Live is focused on making health and wellbeing “fun, accessible and enjoyable for everyone”.
