Edition: July 2026
Following the success of our free activity days in 2025, we’re delighted to invite you to our 2026 Winter Warm Ups.
Designed especially for those aged 50 and over (although everyone is welcome), there will be a full programme of free fun activities to try, including some self‑care opportunities.
A community marketplace will showcase support available from local organisations offering help with income maximisation, health and wellbeing, keeping safe, and much more.
We are also running a Winter Warm Up Fringe programme this year, promoting the rich array of activities on offer, week in and week out, at local venues across our District – there’s bound to be something near for you to try!
