The event is part of the Mansfield Museum Health and Wellbeing Festival.

Ian Richards, owner of Express Coaching Services, said: “The event went very well with a steady stream of participants throughout the two days. We were thrilled with the response from shoppers and we held regular 10 minute sessions so that everyone could have a go. We would like to thank Four Seasons for allowing us to run the event at the centre, we were located very centrally which allowed us to really interact with the public and everyone had so much fun taking part.”

The event was held from Wednesday 11 to Thursday, April 12, just outside Topshop.
