Putting wellness at the top of the list this weekend

Posted on by

Looking for a few new ways to boost your physical or mental wellbeing?

Then you need to Put On Your Sunday Best as usual to hear what guest Johanna Thompson has to say when she joins June in the first hour of this week’s Girls Around Town.

Another familiar voice on the show, Johanna will be back from just after 10.20am with details of the Wellness Network‘s latest event taking place over in Lincoln on Sunday 26 September…

On the phone this time though, as she has a pressing engagement at 11am running one of the group’s regular online meetings!

Featuring hand-picked speakers, experts in exercise and nutrition, taster treatments, some of the latest vegan products for inside and out and ways to help and enhance your mind, the Lincoln Health & Wellness Show is being held at The Bentley Hotel & Spa in South Hykeham, which local listeners will know is just a quick drive up the A46 from Newark.

Take that trip towards the end of the month and, among the presentations on the programme, you’ll finds topics as diverse as where to start with a plant-based diet, how being selfish is the most selfless thing you can do, using reflexology to support menstrual and reproductive health…

And even one intriguingly titled A slouchy sweater and a little bit of pixie dust!!

Tickets are on sale now via the Wellness Network’s website, priced just £3.50 each if you book online by 4pm on Saturday 25 September or £5 if you’re paying cash on the day.

What’s more, the event will be supporting The Lincoln Foodbank, with 50p from each ticket sold, together with all the proceeds from a raffle on the day which Johanna says will be featuring some amazing prizes, going to this invaluable local charity.

If this sounds like something you and your friends would benefit from and enjoy, make sure you’re listening on 107.8FM, on the apps, on Alexa or online from 10am this weekend to find out more…

And stay tuned right through to 12 noon for plenty of other local news and great music with June throughout the rest of the show!

A blooming good show!

Your garden might not be looking its best right now, especially if it’s still snowy out there as you’re reading this, although it won’t be long before those spring flowers start to bloom, bringing a welcome touch of colour and the promise of lots more to come as we head towards summer.

But if like June‘s your garden is a bit of a wilderness at the moment or maybe you just want to ring the changes a little, the next Girls Around Town guest can definitely point you in the right direction…

Just over the border into Lincolnshire and the beautiful setting of Belvoir Castle to be precise!

The man behind the Belvoir Castle Flower and Garden Show since its launch in 2018, Andy Tudbury will be on the phone to the studio in the second hour of the show this weekend to look back at some of the highlights of the first two events.

He’ll be reporting too on the 2020 show, that went ahead a little later than originally planned with a few changes to comply with Covid-19 regulations, and will be sharing news of this year’s show which is scheduled to take place on Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 July.

“We have some great content already lined up for the summer, some you will be familiar with, along with some brand new additions,” says Andy. “You’ll find newcomers to the gardening world rubbing shoulders with some of the best horticulturists in the country, specialist growers, garden furniture, sculptures, tools and much more.

“And fabulous food will tempt you to sit and relax while you listen to the live music on the stage.”

If you’re  a budding garden designer or landscaper, there’s still time to enter the new Design and Build competition sponsored by CED Stone and it’s not too late to book Early Bird tickets for the show either.

Follow the links above to find about more about both of them…

Or better yet, make sure you’re tuned to 107.8FM or listening online from just after 11.20am on Sunday for details from Andy about these and some of the other things to inspire you on the flower and garden front!

Putting health and wellness at the top of the agenda

It’s all about networking again this weekend, when Johanna Thompson and Kayleigh Langley join the Girls Around Town to talk about the meetings and events they organise for people working in the health and wellness industry.

They’ll be sharing details of the Wellness Network‘s regularly monthly meetings, currently held in Lincoln and Grantham, which bring together like-minded professionals to share best practice, make new contacts and create collaborations.

There’ll be news too of their plans to expand the group’s activities to other locations, a look back at some of the special events that have taken place recently and a look ahead to one on the cards for Sunday 8 September.

The Grantham Health & Wellness Show at the Urban Hotel runs from 11am till 3pm and visitors can take their pick from no fewer than 10 short talks on popular topics such as the facts and fiction of the menopause, green beauty, reflexology and how a boudoir shoot can help boost your confidence.

With various demonstrations on the programme, a range of stands to browse around and the opportunity to try different exercise classes, there’s something for everyone at this free event. And there’s even a goody bag for the first 100 people who register!

Tune in or listen online between 10am and 12 noon on Sunday for all the details from Johanna and Kayleigh. In the meantime, you’ll find more information about the talks here – places are free but they’re limited so you do need to register if you want to secure yours.

And if you’re quick, you just might be going home with one of those goody bags too…
