Walking Hockey is exactly as the name suggests – you play Hockey while walking – and is perfect for players who are looking for a less physically demanding version of the sport, but still enjoy participating, showing their skills and being involved in the team and social aspect of the sport.
The game is played on a smaller pitch with lighter balls and rules adapted for safety and accessibility.
We operate a weekly social mixed game at 6pm on Monday evenings all year round. Players of all ages and abilities are welcome. There’s always laughter and quite often the chance for a social drink afterwards if you feel like it!

9.30am – 10.30am every Sunday morning from 3rd May to 13th September.
Yoga classes with Kyla are accessible, inclusive, and welcoming to all. Kyla’s teachings offer individuals an opportunity to find their own rhythm, with a gentle focus on alignment to increase physical strength, concentration, and balance. No two classes are the same, sometimes a gentle flow, sometimes restorative, always strengthening through our connection to breath and the physical body.
Kyla likens her classes to a shared journey, through a mixture of movement and breath-work as way of connecting and finding a deep inner peace. Kyla is looking forward to sharing with you her knowledge of traditional asana (postural-practice), pranayama (breath-work) and her love of the Sanskrit language, often utilising sound to connect through Mantra (chanting).
Whether you are new to yoga or already have an established yoga practice, Kyla invites you to join her every Sunday for Park Yoga in in John Coles Park.
Together we’ll find a way to connect in and restore.
Om, shanti, shanti, shanti.
There is no need to book, simply show up and bring a mat or a towel. All abilities are welcome.

Taste of Summer: Painting Fruits in Watercolour
2026-08-15 14:00 - 16:00 | The Waverley, Chippenham, United Kingdom
Celebrate the colours and flavours of summer with this relaxed and joyful watercolour workshop. You’ll explore the vibrant shapes, textures, and hues of seasonal fruits, learning how to bring them to life on paper in a fresh, expressive way.
We’ll cover approachable watercolour techniques for painting juicy berries, citrus, stone fruits, and more, with guidance on colour mixing, light, and shadow to help your paintings feel bright and full of energy. There’ll be pieces of fruit and reference images on the table for inspiration, and you can choose to paint a single piece of fruit, a small group, or try painting a few different fruits – the choice is yours!
This session is beginner-friendly and low-pressure, with an emphasis on enjoyment and experimentation rather than technical perfection. I’ll be on hand to offer as much or as little guidance as you’d like, supporting you as you explore painting something new in your own style.
You’ll take home your painting along with an Introduction to Watercolour booklet to inspire you to continue with watercolour at home.
We’ll have exclusive use of The Waverley’s spacious main upstairs room, and a complimentary drink of your choice is included in your ticket.
All materials are provided (or feel free to bring your own favourites), and no prior drawing experience is needed – just curiosity, a love of colour, and a willingness to have fun with paint!

Sparkly Singers
2026-08-13 20:00 - 21:15 | Pewsham Community Centre, Lodge Road, Chippenham, SN5 3SY
Sparkly Singers is the award-winning Wiltshire-based choir experience, founded with the simple aim of bringing the joy and benefits of group singing to everyone, regardless of age, experience or ability.
Rather than splitting into parts and learning harmonies, we prefer instead to sing in unison, infusing songs with our own rather unique mix of humour, movement and the occasional wacky prop.
Alongside our sessions in Chippenham (Monday lunchtimes) and Royal Wootton Bassett (Tuesday evenings), the Sparkly Singers meet every Thursday evening from 8:00pm at the Lansdowne Hall in Derry Hill.
So if you simply love to sing, but have yet to find the choir that perfectly complements your sense of fun, why not enquire about one of our FREE taster sessions and come and see what we’re all about.
