On Tuesday, there’s a taster session of children’s yoga and meditation from 4pm to 4.30pm, for ages four to 11, with Kate Atkinson, of BAYoga.

On Wednesday, from 10am to noon, there’s a Mood-Boosting Book Walk. Those interested should collect their copy of The Curious Charms of Arthur Pepper as soon as possible from Tring library (no reservation fee) and sign up for the gentle, undulating walk in Tring Park during which participants will chat to each other about the book. There will be light refreshments afterwards and a chance to see what else is on offer at the library. Participants must register in advance and grippy footwear is essential.

From 11am to noon on Thursday, attend a talk by Kim Harries about stress management and get Angella Wagner’s Body MOT – a practical demonstration of how changing your posture can make you feel great. Book in advance.

Then from 1pm to 3pm on Thursday, drop in for a mini-hand massage, do something artistic with a page out of an old book or bring your little one to a craft activity with an elephant theme.
