About this session

Join us over at the Acres side of the park (meet at the Coppinger Rd entrance, in the corner of Aylestone Recreation Park) for this week's outdoor adventure!

Every visit to Saffron Acres brings something new to get involved with, from watering tomatoes and light weeding, to digging and bramble busting. There’s always a variety of tasks, so no two sessions are ever the same!

If you’ve got an injury or need to take it easy, no problem just let us know and we’ll make sure there’s a lighter task you can help with. Everyone's welcome, and there's always a way to get stuck in.

Don’t forget to come prepared for the sunshine, please bring suncream, a hat, and plenty of water to stay cool and hydrated.

Got any questions? Just drop Sarah a message at sarahhorner@goodgym.org.
