Social Events

Retirement should be a time in which to enjoy all the hobbies, pursuits and interests that were neglected during our working lives. Grove Park is ideally suited to residents who are active and engaged. Evidence has shown that even a small amount of exercise can have a dramatically positive impact on the quality of life and well-being. For those who want a more active exercise programme, Darwin Forest Country Park offers training facilities, swimming pool and Spa and is less than a 10-minute drive from Ashover.

A number of Societies offer a large selection of courses and programmes in the Village Hall which are well attended. A variety of activities are offered in the Bassett Rooms for the enjoyment of the entire village and its surrounding neighbours.

Getting old is inevitable,
A journey none can outrun,
But wrinkles fade beside the smile,
When life is filled with fun. 

The years may slow our hurried steps,
And silver crown our hair,
Yet laughter keeps the spirit young,
With joy beyond compare.

So, dance a little, sing out loud,
Let every worry fall.
For growing old is certain – yes,
But fun is the best medicine of all.
