The Wandsworth Wellness Weekender is taking place later this month and will see two days packed with free activities to get families moving across the borough to kick off the Summer of Sport.
Whether you want to try your hand at badminton or get involved in rugby for beginners ahead of the Women’s Rugby World Cup later this year, there will be an opportunity to try new activities, meet other local families, and embrace a healthier lifestyle on Saturday 14 and Sunday 15 June.
Free five-day passes at the borough’s sport and leisure centres will also be given out. This will include free access to the gym, swimming and classes at participating venues during the five-day period. This includes all the borough’s leisure centres and sports centres (with the exception of Barn Elms Boathouse, Falcon Park and Furzedown Recreation Centre).
To redeem this, all you need to do is head into your local centre Saturday 14 and Sunday 15 June and talk to a member of staff at reception. This offer is only open to Wandsworth residents so remember to bring proof of address, such as a bank statement or utility bill from the past three months.
The council is working with its partners to deliver these free activities as part of its Wandsworth Moves Together leisure strategy.
Paul White, Cabinet Member for Environment, said, “Following the success of the first Wandsworth Wellness Weekender earlier this year, we’re delighted to bring it back again to encourage more residents to get active.
“There are lots of ways residents can move more in our fantastic leisure centres and parks, and we’re proud to be making these spaces available to more people through our Wandsworth Moves Together strategy.
"Please gather your friends and family and sign up for as many sessions as you can. We look forward to seeing you there!”
Throughout the weekend, you’ll find a wide range of free activities designed to keep you active, engaged, and having fun.

We've always done that and won't be changing, in fact we'd like to do more. However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them.
