Revitalising Our Town: Health & Wellbeing Month – May 2026
Following the success of last year’s initiative, the Ilkley BID is proud to announce the return of Health & Wellbeing Month throughout May 2026. This campaign is a cornerstone of our ongoing commitment to championing local businesses and positioning Ilkley as a premier destination for health, wellness, and self-care.
Showcasing Our Diverse Business Community
Our goal is to shine a spotlight on the incredible breadth of wellness services available right here in our town. This campaign isn’t just for traditional clinics; it’s a celebration of anything that helps our residents and visitors feel their best.
We are proud to promote a wide array of participating sectors, including:
- Beauty & Self-Care: Hair salons, skin clinics, and beauty therapists.
- Fitness & Movement: Gyms, boutique yoga and Pilates studios, and personal trainers.
- Professional Health: Dentists, opticians, and holistic therapists.
- Wellness Retail: Any business offering products that contribute to a healthy lifestyle, from organic treats to ergonomic home goods.
How We’re Driving Footfall in 2026
To ensure maximum visibility for our BID members, we are deploying a multi-channel marketing strategy designed to reach both locals and those from further afield:
- The Discover Ilkley Digital Hub: A bespoke landing page on our website serves as the “go-to” directory, featuring participating businesses, exclusive May-only offers, and event listings.
- Dynamic Social Media Campaign: We are rolling out a month-long schedule of engaging content, business spotlights, and “Wellness Wednesday” features to keep the town’s offerings top-of-mind.
- Strategic Press & Media Outreach: By distributing targeted press releases to local and regional media, we ensure the Health & Wellbeing message reaches a broad audience, highlighting Ilkley as a hub for vitality.
