The 7events team will be running the Health and Wellbeing Festival on Saturday 16th April 2016 at the Evington Leisure Centre with the aim of helping you improve your own wellbeing. You can take a test to see if you’re diabetic, get your hearing checked, find out more about common illnesses and find out what support is out there. We are even offering CPR awareness and training.

Bring the children along too as we will have plenty of fun things for them to do like face painting, live animals they can get their hands on, meet the local police and learning with a twist. We also have activities for adults to take part in too which include martial arts, table tennis, laughter yoga and much much more.

So come along with the whole family and make a day of it! It is a FREE event for everyone from all communities and all ages. There will be snacks, cakes and drinks available on the day.
