"This wellbeing day is a fantastic opportunity for families to discover the natural treasures in our local area while celebrating the investment we've secured for Aberfields. The funding has been able to completely transform the space and has helped to create a welcoming space for the community, and this event perfectly encapsulates that. It's wonderful to see so many community groups coming together to create this immersive experience and I would highly recommend this event for a fun summer day."
The event is completely free to attend and no booking is required.
