What We Offer
Nordic walking community programmes 2026
Nordic walking groups for Arabic-speaking and Somali Women
In partnership with Sadaga and the Bristol Somali Resource Centre, we are developing a Nordic walking programme specifically for Arabic-speaking and Somali women. This project has been made possible thanks to funding from the National Lottery Community Fund.
We have already begun training women from Sadaga and the Bristol Somali Resource Centre to become Nordic walking instructors, and they will go on to lead a series of Learn to Nordic Walk courses for women connected to these organisations. The funding will also enable us to organise scenic countryside walks around Bristol, as well as social events for all women who are part of our Nordic walking community.
If you are interested in joining the programme please contact:

Nordic walking beginner workshops
Due to the introduction of park charges by Bristol City Council we are regrettably no longer able to offer Nordic walking beginner workshops.
Nordic walking tasters
If you want to try Nordic walking, we occasionally offer fun and friendly Nordic walking tasters. They are led by qualified instructors and will give you a taste of Nordic walking, its wellbeing and fitness benefits. They are suitable for all fitness levels.
Sign up to our Newsletter (the subscribing button is at the bottom of our web pages) to get details of our upcoming tasters.
