Dear Fitness Fans, you are in for a few fitness festival treats at this years GREEN FESTIVAL  2011 which will be launched on Saturday the 28th of May for 2 weeks of family fun. Over the last few weeks I've been talking to Peterborough Environment City Trust's very own, Penny Fletcher and we've been talking about all the exciting things that are happening at the GREEN FESTIVAL the festival launch day in Cathedral Square, the "stage bus" a bus that transforms into a stage, the Nordic Walking Events and the Trashion Show timetable.

We've been invited to take part in GREEN FESTIVAL 2011 launch on the stage bus, yes you heard right I'll be 'live' on the stage bus on the 28th of May and a second appearance 'live' at the TRASHION show on Thursday the 09th of June and this promises to be a fabulous fiesta of fun and an exciting extravaganza of Trashion on the catwalk.  We are delighted to deliver an exciting fun packed event fitness program and i'll be launching Zumba Fitness ® , ViPR™ Fitness and our Green Festival British Nordic Walking program for the fortnight ahead. It doesn't matter how fit, what shape or what age you are, it's taking part that counts.

The Green Festival begins on Saturday the 28th of May at 10 am, our 30 minute ZUMBA® Party will start at 10:30 am, you are all invited and it is FREE to attend. You will find details of this and other Zumba classes we'll be offering soon, keep watching. Read More...




During the festival launch and the following week Sue Burnett and Anna-Marie Malone will be in the crowds and capturing the essence of the Festival for Peterborough FM, your community radio station. We would like to know your views, your opinions and most of all your inspirations to be part of this community festival.

Throughout the two weeks there'll be a program of events for the whole family including some introduction to Nordic Walk sessions for complete beginners, this will allow you to find out a bit more about this wonderful activity and whether it is right for you. Who knows you might be inspired to learn this green skill and swap it for your fuel guzzling motor car, bus or motor cycle as an alternative transport to work, the city or your local shops.
