Move Together is coming to St Austell! Dance sessions for women affected by cancer with a focus on the body, movement and creativity.

We are delighted to be bringing Move Together to a new home in St Austell starting in October.
To introduce the project, we are running a series of free taster sessions this summer in St Austell, Par and Bugle. These sessions are open to any woman living with or recovering from cancer, or any Health Professionals in a signposting/referral role, and are designed to offer a joyful, welcoming space to explore movement, creativity and connection.

“I absolutely love the dance sessions! They’ve been a real tonic during my treatment and are hugely helping with my recovery and well-being.”

how do i get there and where can i park?

Studio 4 Old Vicarage Place, St Austell, PL25 5YY
On foot from White River Place it's down the slope between the Butchers and Peacocks (a bit further up from the public toilets).

The nearest place to park is the White River Place multi storey car park.
Turn left as you come out of the car park at Level S1 (Wilko and Snap fitness), then left again up the slope. It’s a very short walk. The car park has a lift and Studio 4 has ramp access.

White River Place is a pay when you leave car park (using car reg number) and is £3 for up to 4 hours.

Cornubia Hall (upstairs) 31 Eastcliffe Road, Par PL24 2AQ
Parking at Moorland Road entrance or on corner of Par Green/Eastcliffe Rd

Bugle Village Hall, New Street, Bugle PL26 8PG (has its own small car park)

what do i need?

We recommend that you wear clothes that are comfortable to move in, bring soft shoes or bare feet and bring a drink of water.
