As part of this year’s Wicklow Regatta Festival, we’re delighted to be hosting a Walking Football session with the fantastic team from Wicklow Walking Football.

📍 Finlay Park, Station Road, Wicklow

Friday 31st July @ 6.30pm

Have you heard of walking football but never quite knew what it was all about? Now’s your chance!

Whether you’d like to:
👀 Watch a game in action
🙋 Ask questions
⚽ Have a go yourself
🤝 Meet the group and find out more

…everyone is welcome to come along.

Walking football is a fun, social and low-impact way to stay active and is particularly suited to the over 60s. It’s a brilliant way to improve fitness, make new friends and enjoy the beautiful game at a pace that suits everyone.

The Wicklow Walking Football group meets twice a week and is always delighted to welcome new faces.

Come along, give it a try, and you might just discover your new favourite pastime!

Organic Willow Weaving: Bird Feeder with Kelly Hood (age 7+)

Join Kelly Hood to make a beautiful Willow bird feeder for Summer. Using sustainable organic Wicklow Willow you will learn three different weaving techniques, including a handle.

This is a great introduction to weaving with willow as it is quite easy for beginners. Once it’s made you add fat balls then hang it in a tree or on a post to enjoy the small birds that come to feed.
