Active Hastings Age Friendly Activity Taster Day coming soon

Active Hastings are very excited to announce their Age Friendly Activity Taster Day is coming to Hastings in October!

As part of the East Sussex County Council Full of Life Festival, Active Hastings will be hosting a free Activity Taster Day on Wednesday 21 October, 12noon to 4.30pm at Summerfields Leisure centre.

The free taster day is designed to give local people the opportunity to come together, try out new activities, whilst having a chat and enjoying free tea and coffee.

Various activities will be available, including but not limited to; racket sports, walking football and netball, chair-based exercise, pickleball and Qigong. No experience is necessary; everyone is very welcome. Throughout the day you can enjoy a free cuppa and meet Jas, the Active Hastings GP Link Worker, Janet, Hastings Borough Council’s Age Friendly Communities Coordinator, and local organisations supporting healthy ageing in your community.

Cath Donovan, Physical Activity and Health Strategic Lead at Active Hastings said “Whether you’re interested in having a go at one of the activities on offer or enjoying a free cuppa and a chat there is something for everyone. We hope by holding the taster day at the local sports centre it will help introduce the leisure centre to residents who may not have visited before, as well as welcoming regular visitors.”

Councillor Glenn Haffenden, leader of the council and lead councillor for sport and leisure, said: “We are delighted to bring the Active Hastings Taster Day to our local leisure centre and look forward to welcoming people from across the town. The Active Hastings Age Friendly Taster Day is a great opportunity for people to come together, meet new people and hear about what’s on in their town. As well as trying their hand at new activities which have been designed to help people age well.”
