Outings
Consider joining us for a day out. We provide trips to places of interests, either locally or further away, for a guaranteed day out full of adventure.
We have been on a backstage tour of Hampton Hill Theatre, a visit to The National Archives for a curator-led tour of the exhibition, the Poppy Factory in Richmond. During the summer we have visited Whitstable and Brighton and also the Desing Museum in London, and at Christmas time visited Petworth House and Winchester Christmas Market.

Booking system:
Our outings programme has always been very popular but lately demand for places has soared. Please kindly note it is no longer feasible to notify people individually about trips or put names down in advance.
Instead, we publish a list of outings online and posters will be displayed in advance in our social centres for those not online. Going forward, we will announce the date the outing goes on sale in advance giving everyone an equal chance to book a ticket on that date.
Places will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.
For more information on outings, contact wellbeing@ageukrichmond.org.uk or ring Shyama Newton on 020 8744 1965.
