OVER 65s are being encouraged to stay active in Eden with the launch of free drop in sessions at Penrith Leisure Centre.

Participants can enjoy free refreshments, a tour of the facilities and try out a range of activities, aimed to encourage older people to continue keeping fit or have a go at something new.

These drop ins starting from November 10 will lead to a programme of two hour multi-activity classes. For more information call 01768 863450.
