What is Wellness Weekender?

The Wandsworth Council Wellness Weekender is a free borough-wide event designed to help residents get active, improve wellbeing and try new activities in a welcoming and inclusive environment. Taking place across leisure centres and community venues, the weekend offers a wide range of fitness sessions, family friendly activities and wellbeing opportunities for people of all ages and abilities.
