BADMINTON fun is coming to Bury.

New ‘No strings’ weekly badminton sessions are being offered at Castle Leisure Centre between 9.45am and 11.15am on Tuesdays.

The coached sessions are ideal for people aged 16 plus of all abilities, and cost £3 for up to 90 minutes. You do not need to book or have a playing partner.

Further non-coached sessions will take place at Castle Leisure Centre from 815pm to 8.45pm on Tuesdays, and at Radcliffe Leisure Centre from 5.15pm to 6.45pm on Thursdays.

Councillor Karen Leach, deputy cabinet member for health and wellbeing, said: “These new coached sessions cover all the essential badminton skills and are a great way to start your badminton journey. They’re also really informal, friendly and loads of fun. Don’t miss this low-cost opportunity to enjoy weekly court time with a qualified coach. It’s a great way to kickstart a more active lifestyle, boost fitness and meet new people too.”
