Holmfirth Lunch Club
On the 1st Friday of each month, we plan a range of activities to suit our members’ interests, most often featuring an illustrated talk or musical talent, but also including arts and crafts, quizzes and collaborations with local school children. We share a light lunch (usually soup, sandwiches and a pud or cakes) and teas and coffees are also served by our volunteers. Roughly once a year we also plan a trip out somewhere using a fully accessible coach, and we link with local schools on occasion on shared projects.
When: 1st Friday of the month
Where: Holmfirth Methodist Church Hall
Time: 11.00 am until 2.00 pm.

Holmfirth ‘Big Meal’
On the third Friday of each month we meet for a 2 course lunch cooked for us by professional caterers and served by our volunteers at the Methodist church hall (Crown Bottom car park) in Holmfirth, followed by a quiz or paper & pen activity if there’s time and always by ‘Mary’s mad raffle’. Transport can be provided on request by one of our team of lovely volunteers. There are usually 30 to 40 people who come together for the ‘Big Meal’, so you will not be alone for long and will soon feel as if you’ve known us all for years!

Armchair Zumba
Exercise to music (seated or on your feet!) led by an experienced, qualified instructor. One of our regular exercisers said of it, “We have soft balls to squeeze in our hands and maracas to shake to the Spanish music. We use our arms in all different ways, also our feet and legs. Stretching does our muscles good. We all feel much healthier afterwards.” A great bond of friendship and fun is built between all who attend. Teas, coffees and biscuits are served while we chat afterwards.
When: the 2nd and 4th Thursday of each month.
Where: Holmfirth Methodist Church Hall
Time: 1.30pm to 3.00pm
