Sobell Leisure Centre to celebrate the Great Winter Get Together
Sobell Leisure Centre will celebrate the Great Winter Get Together, inspired by Jo Cox MP. As part of the Great Winter Get Together weekend (12-15 January 2024), Sobell Leisure Centre will be holding a free social get together filled with fun activities on Monday 15th January.
Inspired by Jo Cox MP, the Great Get Together has been bringing communities together since 2017. Community events around the UK are acting as places where people can find meaningful connection is January, and show that winter doesn’t have to be lonely.
This year’s Great Winter Get Together at Sobell will bring together local people with hot drinks and snacks for all. There will be a range of social activities available, including table tennis, short mat bowls, dominoes and board games. There will also be the opportunity to take part in a free circuit’s fitness class led by our fitness instructor.
