Healthy Community Fair

Come and attend the Healthy Community Fair at The Abingdon Arms!

Being part of a community and engaging in social activities can be good for both our mental and physical health.

Join us at the Abingdon Arms on Wednesday 19th February from 11am where we will have a range of fun activities which may help you think about ways to improve your health and wellbeing.

There will be activities such as:

  • a mindfulness session,

  • arts and crafts

  • museum object handling

  • a tap dancing lesson

There will also be free lunch and refreshments.

We are researchers from the University of Oxford who are interested in how people living in rural communities experience health and wellbeing and how the NHS can serve these communities in the best possible way. Please do join us, come and have a chat, perhaps try something new. All welcome.

The Fair is organised jointly by the University of Oxford Department of Primary Care Health Sciences and the Beckley & Area Community Benefit Society, the community group which owns The Abingdon Arms. The organisers would like to thank Suzy, Vicky and Alex, the pub's tenants, for hosting the Fair.
