Walking football is set to become available later this month for women aged 40 and over in Dawlish.

It comes as part of the Walking Football Programme organised by charity Age UK to encourage people to get active in a slower version of the game.

The first session will be held on Wednesday 19 January at Dawlish Leisure Centre on Sandy Lane outside on the AstroTurf free of charge from 4.30pm to 5.30pm.

It will then take place every Wednesday, costing £4 per session.

You'll need AstroTurf training shoes or trainers, and you can book by calling 0333 241 2340 or emailing [email protected].

All abilities are welcome.
