Celebrate Community and Health Living Well in Rutland Event Today
If you’re looking to boost your wellbeing or simply enjoy a day out with the family, Oakham is the place to be this Saturday, April 25th. The "Living Well in Rutland" event is taking over the town center from 10am to 2pm, offering a vibrant mix of activities, health advice, and community support.
The event is spread across three iconic local venues: Oakham Castle, the Family Hub, and Oakham Library. Whether you’re interested in fitness, literacy, or finding local support services, there is something for every generation.
Key Activities to Look Out For
The organisers have curated a diverse schedule designed to get people moving and learning:
MyBike Project (10am – 12pm @ Oakham Castle): Start pedaling toward a healthier lifestyle! Refurbished bikes will be available on-site while stocks last.
Storytime with Makaton Signing (10:30am & 1pm @ Family Hub): An inclusive, fun-filled session perfect for families looking to practice Makaton skills through the magic of storytelling.
Seated Exercise Taster (11am & 1pm @ Oakham Library): Improve your mobility and strength in a gentle, accessible way. These taster sessions are ideal for those looking for low-impact ways to stay active.
Treasure Trails (10am – 2pm starting @ Oakham Library): A great way to explore! Hunt around all three event sites to collect stamps and uncover hidden "treasure."
A One-Stop Shop for Support and Information
