Tropicana What's Next?

The magic of music!

Researchers have found that music releases dopamine, the feel-good chemical in your brain. When listening to music your dopamine levels increase by 9%.

It may be obvious to us, but there is strong evidence for the link between music and well-being.

This summer's What's Next? Mental Health and Well-Being programme will include music events.

This summers What's Next? programme will focus on Mental Health & Well-Being.

In North Somerset 14.5% of adults have an unresolved record of depression on their patient note which is above the national average.

67% of individuals nationally experienced moderate to high levels of stress at work.

Through our programme of events we hope to engage with the community through a variety of art forms including theatre, art, healthy eating, mindfulness and exercise.

It's day! A chance for all of us to be more open about mental health – to talk, to listen, to change lives.

A sticky note on someone’s desk, an evening video call, or side-by-side over a sandwich: however you do it.

AMAZING news for the Tropicana!

We bring you some fantastic breaking news this morning.....cash boost for Weston!

Weston-super-Mare locations will benefit from a £20m investment from the Government’s Levelling Up Fund.

The sites will include:

Tropicana Weston - enhancements and expansion to the events space to create an attractive, 8,000 capacity facility and improvements to food and drink facilities.

🌊 Marine Lake - developing year-round facilities for food and drink and leisure, tapping into the trend for outdoor swimming, attracting residents and visitors alike.

📌 Weston town centre - creating more flexible spaces to attract independent high-quality retail and other uses. Using digital and creative design, encourage people to move around the town centre and seafront to discover some of its hidden treasures.

❤️ Birnbeck Pier - improve buildings at the shore end of Birnbeck Pier, bringing them back into use. This will complement the funding already attracted to improve the pier structure itself.

🌳 Grove Park - Improving the entrance to this beautiful town centre green space and repurposing the park’s buildings after they’ve been vacated by Weston-super-Mare Town Council.
