Beth Tweddle brings children's gymnastics programme to Wellington School in Altrincham

Beth Tweddle is on a mission this year to inspire children all over the North West to get involved in gymnastics and to see the real benefits that the sport has to offer.

The Olympic Medallist has now expanded her children’s gymnastics programme which will be taking place at Wellington School in Altrincham for children aged 4+.
