Luckily in Farnham and the surrounding areas we have an abundance of beautiful local areas for walks. Here are just a few; Farnham Park, Frensham Ponds, Bourne Woods, Chawton House.  

Getting involved with local events and group activities can be great for social and emotional support and connection.

If you’re sporty, why not try walking football or the mental focusing of karate.

Enjoy music and dancing? How about trying Morris dancing or going to a local music event.
