Improve your wellbeing with a social stroll

Our Country Parks team are always looking at ways of putting the Borough’s outdoor spaces to good use in new and beneficial ways for residents. In light of the pandemic they have set up Walk & Talk events.

They aim to bring together those who might be feeling lonely or in need of mental healing following lockdown. The events allow a safe space to share experiences and connect with others while benefitting from the soothing natural surroundings. Nature has long been known as having great benefits for our wellbeing and an escape from daily stresses.

These events are monthly, free and take place at both Lakeside and Itchen Valley Country Parks. Join a small socially distanced group for a stroll and a chat, led by one of the team, to explore the parks through the seasons. They’re informal, include refreshments and are COVID-safe.

Booking is essential to ensure we don’t exceed the ‘rule of six’.
