Outdoor activities groups near Cheltenham, E6

Vibrant dance classes with a warm social afterwards to mingle! ✨ . Dance is singularly more effective at improving symptoms of depression and anxiety than antidepressants, CBT, other forms of exercise like yoga (renowned for mind-body benefits) and even therapy! Dancing regularly is effectively a holistic health insurance policy for your mental, emotional and physical wellbeing 🥰✨ . We combine the somatic therapy of dance with the second silver bullet for health: community. No more rushed conversations as fellow students are leaving - we follow our classes with a warm social so that you can really meet the wonderful souls you dance with and build a genuine community 🌷✨ . We kick off our brand new group with our *Bachata Heels* class (event details to come!), where we nurture your feminine energy, projecting your softness in an elegant yet empowered way. Learn to dance in heels and tap in to the goddess inside ✨ . The class will be followed by a social somewhere nearby, to get a drink after the class, or a bite to eat while you connect with other like-minded souls 🌿 . In future, we’ll aim to add more dance styles including Reggaeton, Salsa, Commercial and Contemporary ☺️ but this group is to nurture the dance scene in Stroud, so join us to shape what dance styles YOU’d like to see in future!

Join us on short meditation walks in & around Worcester. Get into nature, feel connected to the Earth in a mindful way. Incorporating the history of the area and how our ancestors used the land to sustain them.

Welcome to Cotswold Adventures Outdoors. Over the past 6 months, this group has grown and developed into what it is now—previously known as North Gloucestershire and Severn Solo Adventurers.

Activities will include, Hiking and Walking, Standup Paddleboarding, Pub Meets, Camping Trips, comedy nights, and more... In 2024 my life had a dramatic change, I began a journey of doing more of what makes me happy.

We are a sociable meetup group offering a range of activities around Cheltenham including walks, events, socials, yoga, coffee crawls, exploring places in and nearby to Cheltenham and any other mini adventures we can manage. Our focus is on having fun and living a healthy, adventurous and sustainable life. Dogs welcome, children welcome (unless for specific events where this wouldn't be suitable). We aim for plant-based eating. Join us and connect with other like-minded people, have fun, take part in outdoor active adventures around Cheltenham and beyond.

We are a social group of walkers who enjoy the countryside primarily on Sundays with a few summer midweek outings. Our walks are generally 4 - 7 miles and rated at an easy to moderate level - the detail is spelled out in each meetup description. Our walks are moderately paced. We welcome everyone who considers themselves to be single and pride ourselves in offering a warm welcome to all newbies. Well behaved dogs are welcome but are the responsibility of their owners. You are advised to bring a bottle of water, appropriate clothing and footwear for the conditions. Bring a snack or picnic for the midpoint stop - we do also dally occasionally to allow for photographs or to admire the view. Afterwards we tend to adjourn to a local hostelry for a drink and/or food which is entirely optional. 

The emphasis is on having a pleasant day out, visiting interesting and beautiful places, meeting people and making friends rather than conquering summits or getting from A to B as quickly as possible. WOW, have a wonderful day out, meet new friends, share a joke and a laugh.

We ask for a small donation of £2 towards the website Fees and the Organisers expenses in planning the Walk, each time that you walk with us. The walk leader will always have recently walked over the route.

When you book on a Walk and are unable to attend, please change your RSVP on the site to free the place for another Walker or send the walk leader a text message on the day. The walk will proceed shortly after the published time and will not wait unless a message is received that you are in the vicinity when we will wait for a few minutes.

Most of our Walkers are in the age range of 40/50/60's.

4) Please advise your fellow Walkers as early as possible if you encounter difficulties during a Walk or if you see another Walker with problems.

Welcome to the Cheltenham 7 a side football page, which aims to hold friendly and weekly 7 a side matches each week for all abilities so that you can get your overdue football fix post lockdown!. Last year, a friendly bunch turned up in good numbers each week, so hopefully more of the same this year! We paused temporarily due to COVID, however with outdoor sport soon to restart, we are firing up the group again and currently looking for venues at which to play. The usual method is pay as you go for each person (roughly £5pp) to cover pitch hire/equipment etc; all gear such as footballs, bibs provided each time. As we go and games become scheduled, please sign up for the sessions each week that you can make should you be interested. Please share around, and stay tuned for more updates (hopefully soon!) Cheers :) Henry (Organiser)
