Big Health Day 2026 – Thursday 11 June

We’re nearly set for Big Health Day tomorrow (June 11) at Oxstalls Sports Park in Gloucester.
We’ll have inclusive activities in the hall, and outside as well, stalls and health checks in the arena. We also have eight workshops and seminars on signing and communication, dementia awareness, healthy eating, reasonable adjustments, annual health checks, deaf awareness, chair exercises and healthy relationships.
These are all free – if you’d like to come to one or more workshops the booking link is on the main Big Health page. You’ll find more details about the event there too.
Big Health Day is a free annual event for people with a physical or learning disability, sensory loss or mental health support needs.
It aims to be a fun and inclusive event which encourages people to participate in sport, physical exercise and social activities and to engage with services and organisations which can provide support.
