Activities on Tuesday in Cumbria
Social groups, coffee mornings, fitness classes, walking groups, arts, carers support and community activities across Penrith, Appleby, Carlisle, Keswick, Eden Valley & surrounding villages.
Staying active and socially connected is important for wellbeing, especially for older adults, carers, and anyone wishing to remain involved in their community.
This guide brings together everything happening on Tuesdays across Cumbria, from exercise classes to craft groups, health walks, and social clubs.
These activities sit alongside the support many people receive at home. Eden Country Care provides home care services across Cumbria, including elderly care, domiciliary care and dementia care, helping people stay independent while enjoying community life.
