Vanessa Slattery from Wellways (formerly MI Fellowship) said the event on the Civic Green promoted social inclusion by involving a number of community groups and the arts as well as mental health service providers.
Ms Slattery said social inclusion, good physical health, music and art helped people achieve good mental health.
