Walking and Talking at Ladybarn Park

Each week a group of older people meet in Ladybarn Park. Supported by two volunteers, the group of 10-15 walk around the park together, using walking poles where necessary and with a volunteer arm if needed. Referred by their GP at Ladybarn Group practice, through Withington Assist, Ladybarn hub or word of mouth, they meet in rain or shine, and go for a tea/coffee afterwards at a local café.

Walking and talking can make a big difference to your life and to your health. It can be fun and it is a chance to socialise and meet new people whilst also keeping healthy.

The group meets every Wednesday morning at 10:30 am, meeting at the park gate on the corner of Briarfield and Parrs Wood Rd. The walks are suitable for 65+ and all ages are welcome. Walks will be approximately one hour and there will be refreshments provided. There’s no need to book, just come along!
