Powis CastleWelshpool,More InformationThis gentle and relaxing mindfulness taster session will help you experience the gardens in an entirely unique way, as well as learn to be ‘in the moment’ and switch off from the stresses of daily life.
Mindfulness meditation has been scientifically proven to relieve stress and anxiety, improve concentration and lead to a happier and healthier way of living and is even more beneficial when practiced outdoors in nature.
Catherine Waterfall, a stress-management and mindfulness coach with over 10 years meditation experience, will guide visitors through the formal gardens and woodland areas on a tranquil stroll through the senses.
The session will start at 9am or 9.30am (depending on your chosen date), before the Castle opens to the public. The event is around an hour long, followed by a cream tea in the cafe.
Tickets are £20 per person. This includes entry to the garden for the event, but normal admission charge applies into the castle.

Poppy Ride Shropshire

LilleshallPoppy Ride Shropshire
- 2nd June 2024
More InformationTake on an incredible ride alongside veterans, choosing 1 of 3 scenic routes of varying distances (152km/100km/50km), starting and finishing at the Royal British Legion’s first-class Battle Back Centre for recovery before heading through the picturesque Shropshire countryside.
Using decades of cycling know-how, each of the three distance routes offered have been professionally designed. While you enjoy stunning scenery, rolling hills, and tour past local landmarks - the team makes sure you have everything you need. This really is a sportive not to be missed.
By taking part you’re helping the Royal British Legion raise vital funds to ensure they can continue to support serving and ex-serving personnel, and their families, for as long as they need it.
There is no fundraising limit but for those who go the extra mile (not literally) and raise over £300, will earn their own RBL Cycling Jersey to wear with pride on the day.
Not a cyclist? There are also amazing opportunities to volunteer on the day offering a great way to get involved which will still contribute massively to support the Royal British Legion’s armed forces community and veterans.
