Wellbeing Dog Walk
Wednesday 15 March 2023, 2pm - 3pm
Meet at UEA Security Lodge
Explore the outdoor green spaces on our beautiful campus and see the 'pawsitive' effect the lovely doggos can have on your wellbeing. You can book tickets up to 2 weeks in advance.
Join the uea+sport £1 weekly dog walking sessions, every Wednesday during term times at 2pm - open to all UEA students and staff.
Take a break and get outside to stretch your legs and let a friendly dog keep you company. Groups will meet at the UEA security lodge and walk around Earlham park, to give themselves and the dogs some well-deserved exercise and fresh air.
Spaces are limited so please sign up online if you’d like to attend! Tickets will be available to purchase 2 weeks before each session - please buy the ticket for the correct date that you want to attend. Wear appropriate clothing for weather conditions and shoes suitable for an outdoor walk.
