Live Well at South Eveleigh

Overview

South Eveleigh's wellness festival, Live Well 2025, is officially in full swing (just like a pickleball racquet), and there are only two more weeks to enjoy the lineup of mindful activities. The month-long festival has been designed to be budget-friendly, with many of the events being free.

Kicking off lunchtimes is Happy Hoops at the Village Green on Saturday, September 20. Led by Fembot JuJu, this high-energy hula hoop fitness class is equal parts core workout and nostalgia trip, so it's the perfect exercise regimen for those who love a bit of entertainment with a side of abs. Then, for the latter half of the day, you can head to BrewDog for Bonsai and Brews from 5.30-7pm. For $50 per person, sip craft beer while learning the ancient art of bonsai shaping and take home your very own miniature tree.

If you love Pilates, but not the price tag, then you'll be pleased to find out about free Pilates sessions at Body Fit Redfern. Every Friday until the end of the month, the mat-based class is beginner-friendly and runs from 12.30-1.15pm for a perfect midday reset. 

Running alongside it all is the Pickleball Pop-Up at Innovation Plaza (8am–6pm daily until Saturday, September 20). The fast-growing paddle sport has taken the world by storm, and this week you can drop in, grab a racquet and try it for yourself. Plus, it's completely free.

South Eveleigh's Live Well festival runs until September 30. To find out more about these wellness-focused events and what else is on offer, head to the website.
