Wellbeing Sanctuary at Ventnor Botanic Garden
Drop in to any of our weekly scheduled classes which often are outside in summer months.
After class we invite you to continue to relax and unwind in the peace and tranquillity of the Garden and enjoy healthy foods in The Plantation Room Café.
Vegan options everyday along with a Juice of the Day.
From Yoga to Tai Chi, Pilates & Movements to a Burlesque dance class, immersive Sound Baths and more, you’ll find something for you here.
Many of the classes need little to no experience whatsoever. Turn up and pay the teachers directly.
Please note parking charges apply in the Car Park. After a few trial sessions, we require attendees to become a Garden or Wellbeing Member and then you can get inclusive free parking as well as full access to the Garden seven days a week.
Further monthly Wellbeing events can be found on our What’s On pages.
