10 wellbeing activities on offer this September at Northampton’s iconic landmark boasting 900 years of history
Here are 10 wellbeing activities on offer for the rest of September at one of Northampton’s most iconic landmarks, which boasts more than 900 years of history.
Delapré Abbey prides itself on being a place that belongs to its community and every visit, volunteer hour, wellbeing session and restored building tells a story of people coming together.
The site takes a hands-on approach to bringing history to life, which makes it a unique family day out. You can also enjoy award-winning dining at Hibiscus, relax at The Orangery cafe, wander through the tranquil Walled Garden, and explore 550 acres of beautiful parkland.
Another key aspect of Delapré Abbey’s offering is the Wellbeing Hub, with a focus on prioritising mental and physical health. Led by local experts, the following activities allow you to reconnect with yourself and meet like-minded individuals.
