Overview
Joins us at the Peak for a fun afternoon of interactive sport sessions.

Become a Movement DetectiveÂ
14:00-15:30 18+
Become a Movement Detective and solve the mystery of your own physical activity habits. In this interactive workshop, you’ll investigate the clues hidden in your daily life, from routines and emotions to environment and motivation. Through playful activities, group challenges, and simple “case files”, you’ll uncover what helps you move, what gets in the way, and why there is no one-size-fits-all approach to being active. This is not a fitness class, but a fun, creative exploration of movement, wellbeing, and everyday life. Suitable for all abilities, no sporting experience needed.
