Walking Football
Enjoy walking football with us every Monday from 12-1pm and Friday 10am-11am. We have an hour on the pitch then have a hot drink and a blether in the cafe afterwards. All you need is a pair of moulded football boots. If you don't have any, we have some that you can borrow. Walking football is open to all adults and is a great low impact way to keep fit and meet new people.
Changing rooms are open for you to use. We have 4 x 15min games and the game is explained at beginning of every session. After we finish, we go up to the café for a hot drink, a biscuit a post-match chat.
The session is free of charge. We also collect small donations for kit, equipment and going to competitions. To find out more email us.
