Health & Wellbeing Month in May 2026

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.
