From martial arts to dance, yoga to walking football, Bedford Borough Council’s 2024 Active Adults programme has something for everyone looking to try something new or rekindle their passion for sport.
The programme features 31 courses, 14 of which are outside of the town centre, making them accessible to communities in Turvey, Renhold, Great Denham, Wilstead, Kempston, Stagsden, Wootton, and Wixams.
Activities are designed to cater to individuals of all backgrounds, including those who may have never tried sports before or are seeking to return to an activity in a relaxed, supportive environment. Sessions are led by experienced and qualified coaches and participants in a welcoming atmosphere.
The courses, organised by the council’s Sports Development Unit, will run for eight weeks and are exclusively tailored for adults. From new Kendo Fitness and dance classes to evening yoga sessions, the programme boasts a diverse range of activities including golf, indoor bowls and tennis.
There are also eight evening sessions to fit in around busy daytime schedules.
Amy Stevens, sports development Officer at Bedford Borough Council, said, “We’re excited to bring the Active Adults programme to our community, providing a welcoming space for adults to explore new activities or revisit old passions. It’s about fostering a sense of belonging and wellness through sports and recreation.”
Booking for the courses opens on Tuesday, 15 April at 12.30pm, with courses scheduled to start from Monday 13 May. To secure a spot and find out more, vist bedford.gov.uk/activeadults.
