EastEnders star Patsy Palmer and comedian Josie Long are among the celebrities taking part in a festival aimed at brightening up Blue Monday.
The third Monday of January is often labelled as the most depressing day of the year thanks to factors including fading Christmas memories, the impact of the festive period on personal finances and abandoned New Year’s resolutions.
The day-long Festival of Connection event is providing a programme of sessions which will try to inspire and cheer participants at the start of 2021.
