Menopause Wellbeing Walk

Slow down and take some time out on a guided menopause wellbeing walk with mindful activities at the National Museum of Rural Life.

Join Anna Neubert-Wood from WanderWomen for this meditative, restorative and reflective outdoor experience aimed at those going through menopause.  

Taking in the countryside that surrounds the National Museum of Rural Life, this 90 minute session will combine gentle walking with silent reflection, mindful activities and breathing exercises to help you reconnect with nature and restore balance and inner calm. Afterwards we will gather in our Learning Centre for hot drinks and biscuits. 

To ensure a supportive small-group experience, places for this session are limited to 10 participants.

Access

We want everyone who comes to our museums to enjoy their time with us and make the most of their visit. 

• Adapted toilets are available, including baby changing and an adult changing bench.   
• There is an induction loop in the cinema.  
• Paths leading to the farm buildings provide firm smooth surfaces for pushchairs and wheelchairs. However, the distance is approximately half a mile and in places, the path is relatively steep. Seating is provided at regular intervals. A tractor and trailer, the Farm Explorer, is provided for this purpose and is suitable for wheelchair users. This service is free of charge and runs regularly throughout the day.
• The ground floor, but not the first floor, of the farmhouse is accessible by wheelchair.
• Guide dogs, hearing dogs and other recognised assistance dogs are admitted.
