Visitors can also enjoy:

  • A FREE mindfulness-themed craft workshop hosted by Jelly, suitable for all ages.
  • Appearances by Topsy, the centre’s beloved mascot, who will be spreading kindness and giving out tasty treats throughout the day. 
  • A chance to connect with local mental health charities and community groups, offering free support, resources, and ways to get involved.

And to top it all, Broad Street Mall continues its proud support of the Every Little Thing Festival, held each September in memory of Diva Gibson, who tragically lost her life to suicide on 10th May 2020. Founded by her mother, Sinead Gibson, the festival champions awareness, support, and action around mental health and suicide prevention. Sinead will be joining Broad Street Beats to help raise awareness and support the important conversation around mental health.

Broad Street Mall is excited to announce that this year the event will become a year-round series of music showcases, offering more opportunities to enjoy live performances and join the community spirit over the coming months and into 2026. For more information on the upcoming Broad Street Beat events, visit Broad Street Beats – May 2025 – Broad Street Mall
