Healthy Families Festival

Join us on Saturday 11th April for a FREE Healthy Families Festival, powered by Let’s Get Active (LGA) in partnership with local health and wellbeing services.

This is a relaxed, drop-in community event designed for children and families of all ages. You don’t need to stay all day — pop in whenever it suits you and enjoy a range of fun, inclusive activities and free refreshments.

Throughout the day, families will have the chance to take part in a variety of sessions led by experienced coaches and instructors, including:

Active Explorers sessions – playful, movement-based activities for younger children and their families

Family yoga sessions – calm, accessible sessions focused on movement, breathing, and wellbeing

We’ll also be providing refreshments on the day, so you can relax, refuel, and enjoy the experience together.

• Enjoy free, fun activities for children and families
• Try out Let’s Get Active sessions at no cost
• Meet local health, wellbeing, and community services

This event is about movement, wellbeing, and community — creating a space where families feel welcome, listened to, and supported.

• Free entry – no cost to attend
