FOREST Heath District Council is celebrating Love Parks Week with an intriguing invitation to sample the ancient art of Tai Chi.
Love Parks Week, 14 to 22 June, celebrates parks and open spaces as places for people to exercise.
The free sessions will be taking place across the district:

The Tai Chi sessions are open to everyone, of any age. All you need to do is turn up wearing comfortable clothing that allows you to move easily. The sessions are led by Sally Leitch who has 15 years experience in Tai Chi - an exercise regime known as an internal martial art!
