Techy Tea Party Drop-in at Southmead Library
2026-08-04 13:00 - 15:00 | Southmead Library, Southmead House, Bristol, Bristol, BS10 6BA, United Kingdom
If you are reading this and know anyone who struggles with technology, please let them know our support group which meets every week at Greenway Centre, with a cuppa, is now at Southmead Library every week on a Tuesday.
It is designed to support residents with simple digital steps to get the most from their phone, tablet, or laptop and to use them safely and securely.
Our community has one of the lowest digital inclusion rates in the City and so we wanted to address this by giving support to help more of our residents get connected. It can be isolating to be digitally excluded due to the lack of local support to get online, so our Volunteers will help group participants to do just that – over a cuppa where we can.
For further info contact Eve,tel: 0117 950 3335, or email evepayne@southmead.org

Tai Chi for Beginners with Karen
2026-08-05 14:00 - 15:00
In ‘Just One Thing’ Michael Mosley said, “Because Tai Chi is a mix of exercise and meditation, your brain gets a workout too – leading to better brain function. It improves heart health and has even been shown to boost your immune system.”
Tai Chi has its roots in China of 2000 BC. Time has proven it can ease the body, calm the mind, and create a feeling of balance and harmony.
If this sounds interesting to you, do come along and try out this slow mindful sequence of movements and experience the benefits for yourself in this friendly and fun class.
Tai Chi for Beginners at Greenway: Every Wednesday, 11 AM – 12 PM
To book a place visit: Tai Chi Works Bristol or text 07704 478521
You can also book in person at the Greenway Centre Reception.
Cost: sliding from £7 – £10
About Karen:
I have studied Tai Chi and Chinese martial arts since 1983, and I began teaching in 2004. I have taught all ages from 6 up, but my particular interest is in how Tai Chi can benefit our health and wellbeing as we grow older.
In one student’s words: “I like the poetry and grace, the subtlety and mindfulness. I enjoy the way you teach us as a class and as individuals, so that even though I feel I am a slow learner I am motivated to continue and to improve my steps into a world of lightness and ancient tradition.”
