Big Health Day – Thursday 11th June

The next Big Health Day is on Thursday 11 June 2026 (9.30am-2pm).

It will be at its usual venue: Oxstalls Sports Centre, Plock Court, Gloucester, GL2 9DW.

Big Health Day is a free annual event for people with a physical or learning disability, sensory loss or mental health support needs. It aims to be a fun and inclusive event which encourages people to participate in sport, physical exercise and social activities and to engage with services and organisations which can provide support. It has run for 17 years at different venues. For the last few years it has been held at Oxstalls Sports Park in Gloucester.

Last year we had around 1,600 people attend, with more than 100 stalls and a dozen inclusive sports and activities including walking football, boccia, spike ball, cycling, tennis and walking rugby. Around 120 volunteers help run the day, including students from Hartpury College and the University of Gloucestershire. The event also coincided with Carers Week and hosted various carer-support organisations.
