Unlock a Healthier You at Wandsworth Wellness Weekender 2026
The Wandsworth Wellness Weekender, set for March 21 and 22, promises an invigorating experience filled with free, diverse activities aimed at enhancing community health and wellness. This borough-wide event is designed to inspire individuals to explore new avenues for fun and fitness while connecting with others in the community.
A Variety of Activities for Everyone
Taking place across various leisure centres and community spaces, the Wellness Weekender caters to all ages and abilities. Attendees can participate in activities ranging from padel and pan-disability football to pilates and beach volleyball. Additionally, sessions tailored specifically for parents and their babies will also be available, making it a perfect outing for families looking to get active together.
Empowering Women and Girls
This year's event places a special emphasis on encouraging women and girls to engage in physical activities. With an expanded selection of women-and girls‑only sessions, the Wellness Weekender provides a supportive environment for newcomers to build confidence and discover their potential. Paul White, Cabinet Member for Environment, emphasizes the importance of these opportunities, stating, “We hope everyone will come and give something new a try.”
Additional Opportunities for Community Engagement
The excitement of the Wellness Weekender continues with "The Beat Goes On," a vibrant celebration of music and movement at Battersea Power Station, marking the conclusion of Wandsworth’s tenure as the London Borough of Culture. Residents are encouraged to take part in this energetic event, which promises to enhance the weekend’s festivities.
Health and Fitness Benefits for All
Throughout the weekend, attendees can benefit from various promotions at participating Places Leisure centres, including waiving joining fees and offering free EGYM Fitness Hub assessments. The Health Bus will also be on-site at designated locations, providing residents with access to health and wellbeing support, further underscoring Wandsworth’s commitment to fostering a healthier community.
Join the Movement
The Wandsworth Wellness Weekender is not just about this particular event; it is part of a broader strategy aimed at promoting physical activity and wellbeing within the community. With initiatives such as the Access for All scheme and the Women and Girls Working Group, Wandsworth is paving the way for a more active and inclusive future. Residents are invited to take advantage of these offerings not only during the Weekender but throughout the year, making wellness a continuous journey rather than a fleeting event.
