Places are booked as a block of free sessions - you must book your space and register in advance to take part in these sessions.

Nordic walking: Thursdays 10:00am to 11:00am

Nordic walking is a low impact walk using poles, which creates an enhanced technique to work both upper and lower body. When done correctly it can use 90% of the body’s muscles. It is a fun and social activity that can be enjoyed throughout the year. It's ideal for people that haven’t exercised in a while.

Current dates are 18, 25 April and 2, 9, 16, 23 May 2024 (six sessions)

Upcoming dates will be listed for future blocks.
