Residents in Wellington, Shropshire, will once again have access to free outdoor yoga sessions at Bowring Park throughout the upcoming spring and summer months. The community initiative, organised by Wellington Town Council, begins on 3 May 2026 and will continue every Sunday until 13 September 2026.
The sessions are open to people of all ages and ability levels and will run weekly from 9:30am to 10:30am. There is no need to book in advance, and organisers have confirmed that the classes will take place rain or shine. Participants are encouraged to bring their own yoga mat, though a towel or blanket can also be used.
The activity takes place at Bowring Park, a 4.28-hectare space that has achieved Green Flag status. The park was originally established on land donated in 1910 by Ann Bowring to honour her husband, John Crump Bowring. Today, it is maintained by Telford & Wrekin Council.
The return of these sessions comes as the town council prepares for a change in leadership. As of 8 April 2026, Alison Hinks has been appointed as the new Town Clerk, taking over following the retirement of the previous Chief Executive Officer, Karen Roper.
The programme remains part of broader local efforts to promote community health and civic engagement, supported by the Mayor of Wellington, Cllr Reg Snell.
