Free Park Tennis & Big Tennis Weekend at John Coles Park
Looking for a free way to get active, improve your wellbeing and meet new people?
We are pleased to be partnering with the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) to offer two tennis initiatives for people of all ages and abilities, making it easy to get involved regardless of your experience. The sessions are hosted by an LTA licenced coach and assistants
Whether you are new to the sport or looking to develop your existing skills, the sessions offer a welcoming environment where participants can learn through a range of fun activities and exercises. All equipment is provided, so there is no need to anything other than a water bottle.
Families are welcome to take part together, with children under the age of 13 required to be accompanied by an adult.

We are delighted to welcome Stefan Kolberg and Clive Lutley, amongst others, from Friedberg, who are visiting Chippenham as part of our town twinning programme.
We would like to thank them for this beautiful bench, now situated in Monkton Park, which marks 35 years of friendship between Chippenham and Friedberg.
Designed by Clive Lutley, the bench incorporates the skyline of Friedberg, providing a lasting reminder of the strong connection between our towns.
Chippenham is twinned with Friedberg in Germany and La Flèche in France. To find out more about our town twinning partnerships, visit Chippenham Twinning Association or bit.ly/_twinning
