Over 55s Sensory Tree Walk at Oldbury Court – Thursday 29 October
Thursday 29th October
Join us for an Over 55s Sensory Tree Walk at Oldbury Court, hosted by Bristol Older People’s Forum, Friends of Oldbury Court, and Your Park Bristol and Bath.
We’ll follow Oldbury Court’s Tree Trail, learn about the trees and take time to explore our surroundings through our different senses.
The main walk is around 30 minutes and follows a wide, smooth and relatively flat path suitable for wheelchair users. There will also be an optional 30-minute extended walk for those who would like to go further.
Afterwards, we’ll meet at the Oldbury Court Kiosk for refreshments.
