Bristol Bears Foundation has launched new Strive ’25 walking rugby and coffee morning sessions every Tuesday at Hengrove Leisure Centre to introduce women to rugby.
Designed to create a friendly, supportive and fun environment, these inclusive sessions are open to women of all ages and provide a chance to get active, meet new people, and boost your fitness and confidence with empowering rugby sessions.
The morning includes two accessible walking rugby sessions, with a social coffee and cake meet-up between 10.30am and 11am, where women from both groups can come together. No previous rugby experience is needed, and the sessions are free to join.
Whether you’re a mum after school drop-off, bringing a pram, part of the older generation, returning to activity, or simply looking for a gentle, enjoyable way to move, our Strive ’25 sessions are a brilliant way to stay active and meet like-minded women.
Free Women’s Walking Rugby
Kirsty Horner, Women & Girls Coordinator, Bristol Bears Foundation, said: “We’re so excited to launch these free Strive 25 sessions at Hengrove Leisure Centre as part of the Foundation’s Beyond the Bear strategy and our core focus on Inclusion and Access.
- Perfect for anyone who loves Walking Rugby and sings it’s praises every chance they get! A retro, distressed look design, warning your friends or family, you might be about to let them know details of your latest game! Or why not bag one yourself!
