Our Regular Community Events

Our Regular Community Events are the heart of Blended Wellbeing, giving members plenty of opportunities to connect, build friendships and enjoy life together throughout the month.

Saturday Social - Monthly - Hosted By Tracy

Start your month with good coffee, good food, great conversation and even better company. And if time allows, why not stay a little longer for lunch or a drink?

Join us on the first Saturday of every month for our popular Saturday Social – a relaxed and welcoming get-together where friendships are made, stories are shared and laughter comes naturally.

Hosted by Tracy, the Fonder of Blended Wellbeing, it’s the perfect opportunity to catch up with familiar faces, welcome new members and enjoy a friendly start to the weekend.

While these gatherings are often busy and full of conversation, there is plenty of space, to find a quieter corner if you prefer a more relaxed chat.

So come along, grab your favourite drink, settle in and enjoy a morning of friendship, connection and plenty of conversation.

Wallingford Wednesday Connections - Monthly - Hosted by Kaz

A midweek catch-up filled with good food, great conversation and friendly faces.

Join us on the second Wednesday of each month as we meet in Wallingford for a relaxed coffee, lunch or both!

Whether you have an hour to spare or a leisurely afternoon free, Wallingford Wednesday Connections is the perfect opportunity to catch up with friends, meet new members and enjoy easy conversation in one of our favourite local ‘award winning’ pubs.

Hosted by Kaz, there’s no agenda and no pressure—just a welcoming group of women enjoying good company, plenty of laughter and, of course, something delicious to eat or drink.

The Bimble - Easy Walks for All Abilities - Weekly - Hosted by Eileen

Take time to slow down, enjoy the outdoors and share great conversation on one of our regular Bimbles.

Bimbles are gentle, sociable walks, alternating weekly between Benson and local surrounding countryside and villages. They are designed for those who prefer a flatter, more leisurely route, making them ideal for anyone returning to walking, building confidence or simply wanting to enjoy a relaxed stroll in great company.  They are up to an hour in duration.

Every Bimble is a Blended Wellbeing organised event, led by a designated Walk Leader who has completed the Ramblers online Walk Leadership Course. Routes are planned in advance with both enjoyment and safety in mind.

Walking is one of the simplest ways to support both your physical and mental wellbeing, and everything feels a little brighter when you’re enjoying fresh air, beautiful surroundings and a good natter along the way.

Many of our members choose to continue the conversation over a cup of tea or coffee afterwards. While you are very welcome to join them, any arrangements made after the walk are informal and between members rather than part of the organised Blended Wellbeing event.

Craft & Connect - Monthly - Hosted by Kaz

Create something beautiful, enjoy great company and unwind at the end of the day.

Join Kaz each month for a relaxed and friendly evening of creativity, conversation and connection.

Whether you’re an experienced crafter or simply fancy trying something new, these sessions are all about enjoying the process rather than creating perfection. Each month brings a different project, giving you the opportunity to learn new skills, share ideas and spend time with like-minded women in a welcoming environment.

Creative activities are a wonderful way to relax, reduce stress and support wellbeing, and everything feels even more enjoyable when shared with good company.

Walk & Talk - Hosted by Tracy

Walk & Talks

Our Walk & Talks offer the perfect combination of fresh air, exercise, great conversation and discovering beautiful places across Oxfordshire…and beyond!

Whether you are looking for a gentle countryside walk, a scenic riverside route or a more challenging hike, there is something for everyone. Walks vary in distance, terrain and difficulty, giving members the opportunity to enjoy new scenery, explore hidden gems and, if they wish, challenge themselves with longer routes in safe company.

Every Walk & Talk is a Blended Wellbeing organised event, led by a designated Walk Leader who has completed the Ramblers Walk Leadership Foundations Course. While Tracy leads many of our walks, Blended Wellbeing has a growing team of qualified Walk Leaders offering a variety of walks and hikes to suit different abilities. Every route is recced in advance and planned with both enjoyment and safety in mind.

Each walk includes details of the distance, terrain, expected duration and any points of interest, helping you choose the walks that best suit your ability and interests.

Walking is one of the simplest ways to support both your physical and mental wellbeing. Whether you’re making new friends, catching up with familiar faces or simply enjoying the beauty of the Oxfordshire countryside, you’ll always find a warm welcome.

Many of our walks finish near a café or pub, and members often choose to stay for a drink or something to eat afterwards. While you’re very welcome to join them, any arrangements made after the walk are informal and between members rather than part of the organised Blended Wellbeing event.

Book Club - Monthly - Hosted by Sue

Great books, thoughtful conversations and wonderful company.

Whether you’re a lifelong book lover or simply looking for a new way to meet like-minded women, our Monthly Book Club is a relaxed and welcoming place to connect.

Hosted by Sue, we come together each month to chat about our chosen book, share different perspectives and, quite often, discover that the conversations take us far beyond the final chapter.

There’s no pressure to be a literary expert or have all the answers. Our Book Club is about enjoying books, making new friends and spending time with women who enjoy good conversation in a friendly and supportive atmosphere.

Reading is a wonderful way to relax, stimulate the mind and support wellbeing, and discussing a book together often leads to laughter, new ideas and lasting friendships.
