Get active with Princesshay and Active Devon this May Bank Holiday

On Wednesday 31 May, Princesshay will team up with Active Devon to provide a day of activities and demonstrations including yoga, roller skating and dance in Princesshay square where shoppers can find out more about what’s going on in the region.

The event is being held from 10am – 4pm to encourage people to get active and try something new. Active Devon will also be introducing its ‘Devon Girls Can’ campaign plus its 10-week programme helping workplaces support employees to become more active.

At 11.30am a free Rockfit dance workout out in Princesshay Square will offer members of the public the chance to have a go. As well as yoga demonstrations and activities throughout the day in Princesshay, there will also be free 30 minute taster yoga sessions at Lotus Loft in Southernhay between 12.30pm and 3.30pm and a family yoga session at 2pm.

Table tennis tables will be out in Princesshay for the public to use with a tournament to get involved with on the day. Dance in Devon and Roller Derby groups will also be in Bedford Street demonstrating and giving people information on getting started in either activity.

Wayne Pearce, Princesshay Centre Director, said: “With the warmer weather on the way we want to inspire the people of Exeter to get active and perhaps try something they haven’t considered, or even heard of before. We’ve teamed up with Active Devon and we’re really excited to bring a whole day of activities to the centre. We are always keen to use our open spaces for community events – from sport to art, this is one of a series of events we have planned through 2017.”
