Your first session is on us!

Marlborough Fitness & Friendship Club meets every other Tuesday afternoon at Marlborough Scout Hall, and everyone is welcome to come along and try it for free.

Expect some gentle chair-based exercise, a game or two, and plenty of time to put the world to rights over a cuppa. Activities may include Tai Chi, Kurling, bowling, quoits and quizzes, and it's as much about the company as the exercise. It's a lovely way to keep moving and to meet some new faces.

After your free first session, it's just £6 a time, payable on the door by cash or card.

Alternate Tuesdays, 2pm-4pm
Marlborough Scout Hall, 45 George Lane, SN8 4BX
Disabled access at the main entrance, with limited free parking

Our next session is Tuesday 10th November. New members are always welcome!

Our next Daytime Disco is coming back to Devizes, and you're invited!

Join us at Devizes Corn Exchange on Friday 6th November, 2pm-4pm, for a fun, free and relaxed afternoon of music and socialising for everyone aged 55+. Expect a lively mix of music from the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s, whether you'd like to hit the dance floor or simply sit back with a drink and enjoy the tunes.

There are free refreshments, a licensed bar, and plenty of space in an accessible venue. There's no need to book, just turn up!

This disco has been made possible thanks to funding from Wiltshire & Swindon Sport, Devizes Lions and TH White. Thank you!

We can't wait to see you there!

Something a little different for our Royal Wootton Bassett Over 60s coach trips this time: we're heading to Milestones Museum in Basingstoke on Thursday 12th November!

It's a great day out whatever the weather. Wander along cobbled streets, step inside period shops and homes, and meet costumed staff as you discover daily life from the 1800s to the 1940s. There are original vintage vehicles and beautifully recreated shops, factories and homes, with plenty of nostalgia along the way. You can have lunch in the Roof Tops Café, grab bar snacks in The Baverstock Arms, or bring your own.

Tickets are £30, which includes your museum entry. The coach leaves Borough Fields at 9am, with a pick-up in Lyneham (opposite the petrol station) at 9.15am, and we'll be back around 6pm.

To book and pay for your ticket, call 07500 137135 (phone lines open Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, 9am-4pm). We do ask that individuals are able to independently access the coach.

We'd love you to join us for a trip down memory lane!

On the 10th October, Bouverie Hall in Pewsey was filled with big band sounds as Salisbury Big Band joined us for a free concert and afternoon tea as part of our Celebrating Age Wiltshire programme of events.

There was plenty of dancing, some happy toe tapping, and lots of chatting over tea afterwards. Thank you to everyone who came along and made it such a lovely afternoon, and to Salisbury Big Band for playing so brilliantly!

Take a look at the photos, and keep an eye on our page for more Celebrating Age Wiltshire events coming up near you.

The Big Knit is back!

Age UK's partnership with innocent smoothies is returning, and we're hoping to collect as many little hats as we possibly can. Every tiny hat you knit or crochet raises 30p for us here at Age UK Wiltshire to support older people across Wiltshire and Swindon.

Last time, you knitted an incredible 22,850 hats and raised £6,855. We think that together we can go even further this time.

Whether you're a seasoned knitter or picking up needles for the first time, there's a pattern for you. Send your hats to us or drop them in at any of our offices or shops, and find patterns, drop-off locations and posters to share with your local knitting or crochet group here: https://buff.ly/OeHk0Ct

Now, we'd love to hear from you! Are you taking part this year, or is your knitting group getting involved? Let us know in the comments - and if you've already started, we'd love to see pictures of your tiny hats! You might even inspire someone else to pick up their needles.

Happy knitting!
