Uplifting activities for 2021 from Sense
Sense is back providing you with more accessible activities to keep you active and creative.
Live sessions
These take place at specific times and must be booked in advance. Follow the link for your chosen activity to book your place. We’ve changed how you book your live physical activity sessions. You now only have to book once, which confirms your place(s) for that activity every week until the final date listed on the booking page. Make a note of this date-you’ll need to sign up again for the next block of sessions once this date has passed.
