FREE weekly Instructed Nordic Walks on Wednesday PMs
Free Weekly Instructed Nordic Walks from 1.30 to 3pm on Wednesdays
The last of the free instructed Nordic walks on this Active Sussex funded scheme will take place next Wednesday 27 September in Stanmer Park, Brighton.
From 4 October, these walks will continue to be available at the discounted price of £10 per walk or, if paying £90 in advance, ten walks for the price of nine, i.e. £9 per walk. The maximum number of places on each walk will be eight. As these walks have proved so popular, two slots will be on offer:
- 11.45am to 1.15pm on Wednesdays
- 1.30 to 3pm on Thursdays.
In response to a standard email at the beginning of each week confirming the two sessions are happening, places will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. Feel free to book whichever session suits you best.
