The weekend will begin with an introduction to tai chi at 8am on Saturday, May 15.
Based in the Walled Garden, it will be a chance for people to do the Chinese martial art which gently and steadily relaxes the body and refreshes the mind.
The session is suitable for people aged 12 and over and of all levels of fitness. No equipment is needed, but participants should wear loose, comfortable clothing they can move in.
Children can then get involved in the weekend, with a tree babies session at 10am. The class will see parents carrying or wearing babies aged six weeks to 12 months and taking part in activities including woodland exploring, forest bathing, nature craft, movement and outdoor sensory, finishing with tea and a chat.
AWARD-winning Wrexham company Moneypenny has marked Mental Health Awareness Week by offering top tips to minimise stressful interruptions at work. Over the past year workers’ stress associated with the interruptions caused by remote working – such as online meetings, deliveries and dogs barking – have increased and recent research shows that stress-related absence soared by 64 per cent in 2020. Further data from Berkeley University revealed that average work interruptions take 23 minutes and 15 seconds to recover from, even if the distraction is only a minute, and the inability to focus on work is directly linked to stress. To mark National Mental Health Awareness Week (May 10-16) Ceri Henfrey, Chief Operating Officer at global outsourced communications provider Moneypenny explored the true cost of interruption and shares tips for minimising interruptions during the working day.

The statistics are as shocking as they are heartbreaking.
