We’re delighted to announce the launch of the Instow Village Hall Wellness Centre which
brings together all the health, wellbeing and community activities we already offer, alongside
exciting new opportunities, under one banner.
The Wellness Centre is here to support both the physical and mental wellbeing of our
community. Instow has a diverse population, with many older residents and people living
alone. By offering a regular programme of activities and events, we’re helping to reduce
social isolation, improve health and create a stronger sense of togetherness.
What’s on offer?
Our Wellness Centre brings together a wide range of activities:
- Yoga, Pilates & Keep Fit – regular classes to build strength, flexibility and overall
wellbeing - Sound Baths & Retreats – calming, restorative experiences to help manage stress
- Wellness Days – themed events combining activities, talks and relaxation
- Community Hub & Chatty Café – a friendly space to connect, share a coffee and
enjoy good company - Social events – from music and dancing to quizzes and local celebrations
- Venue for WI and other groups – continuing to host long-standing community
organisations
Why does this matter to the Village?
The benefits of these activities go far beyond exercise or entertainment. By taking part in
Wellness Centre events, people can:
- Stay active and healthy at any age, supporting both body and mind
- Build friendships and new connections in the village, reducing feelings of loneliness
- Enjoy a warm, welcoming space right at the heart of the village, without the need to
travel - Feel part of a thriving, caring community that looks after each other
Looking ahead together
As we continue to improve the hall with our Go Green project, including insulation and solar
energy, we’ll be able to provide an even more comfortable and sustainable home for all our
Wellness Centre activities. This means warmer winters, lower costs for activity leaders, and
the chance to expand our programme further.
The Instow Village Hall Wellness Centre is more than a programme of activities, it’s about
supporting wellbeing, bringing people together and strengthening the community spirit of
Instow. We look forward to welcoming you soon.
