Chippenham Parkrun
2023-01-28 09:00 | Monkton Park, Chippenham
Parkrun is a free, community event where you can walk, jog, run, volunteer or spectate. The course is 5k and takes place every Saturday morning in Monkton Park at 9am. Junior parkrun is 2k, dedicated to 4-14 year olds and their families, every Sunday morning.
Walking or running is simple, free and one of the easiest ways to get more active, lose weight and become healthier. Sometimes overlooked as a form of exercise, walking briskly can help you build stamina, burn excess calories and make your heart healthier. Spending time in nature can reduce anxiety and improve your mood while physical activity is known to reduce your risk of diabetes, depression, dementia and cardiovascular diseases.
Why not give Parkrun a try – the course goes through Monkton Park and follows the river on a mixture of trail paths, tarmac paths and gravel paths. Parkrun is positive, welcoming and inclusive, there is no time limit and no one finishes last. Everyone is welcome and refreshments are available afterwards at The Tenth Hole Tea Room at Monkton Park Golf Course.

Live at the Yelde: Harmony Asia & Luke Gittins
2023-01-28 19:30 - 22:30 | The Yelde Hall
Welcome to our inaugural Live at the Yelde event – a chance to celebrate local talent in an intimate setting.
January’s line up consists of two singer songwriters.
Harmony Asia – I’ve been playing and writing music for as long as I can remember. For me it’s always been a way of expressing how I’m feeling. Music for me is an escape and it’s truly what I enjoy doing. If I could do one thing for the rest of my life then it would be to perform. I take influence from artists such as Lianne La Havas and Joy Crookes. Performing and creating music that people can relate to is all I can ever wish to do, and I thank every single person who takes time out of their days to watch me live my dream.
Luke Gittins is a 22 year-old singer songwriter from Chippenham. During the lockdowns, Luke started posting his music onto YouTube and was shared online by the likes of Elton John, Alicia Keys, Ed Sheeran, Bastille and McFly. Luke will be performing brand new, unheard original songs and a handful of covers at his upcoming performance on January 28th.
