Come as you are. Stay as long as you need.
THRIVE RIVERTON Wellness Expo is a free entry event bringing healers, practitioners, artists, workshops, makers, music, activities and food together on the high street of Riverton (Palmerston Street) on the weekend of 21st and 22nd November 2026. A full weekend of connection, nourishment, and discovery for everyone in Southland.
Free to attend. Pay directly for what calls you on the day. A session, a piece of art, a remedy, a meal. No bookings required. Simply arrive and wander. There will also be workshops for those that would like to explore a subject more deeply - the list of these will be available soon and will be available to book onto ahead of the event.
01
Book a one on one session on the day with bodyworkers, energy healers, somatic practitioners, naturopaths, oracle readers, and more.
02
Original works, prints, ceramics, textiles, and handcrafted pieces by Southland creatives. Collect something made with care. Commission a piece. Spend time in the presence of beauty.
03
Natural remedies, skincare, crystals, herbs, tinctures, and handmade wellness goods from local producers and makers who pour genuine care into everything they create.
04
Nourishing kai, plant based bites, teas, tonics, and something for the sweet tooth. Good food that feeds the whole day, made by people who care about what they put out into the world.
05
Good health begins with the soil our foods are grown within. Take some time to connect with the wealth of local knowledge on this subject, visit our local community garden & orchard and check out the awesome array of seeds, seedlings and plants for sale.
06
Movement is one of the foundations of good health. Throughout the weekend there will be fun activities for everyone, from babies to elders.
