Activities and events

You can explore all the places in the Active Quarter on your own, with friends, or with family. But they’re also great places to take part in activities and events.

Our partners offer a range of activities, from sport and exercise to wellbeing support and chances to get creative. Some opportunities are listed below, but it’s worth visiting the websites of each partner organisation too. Every effort is made to make sure these listings are accurate, but get in touch if you spot a mistake.
