Lifestyle
Ashbury Heights will have an activities coordinator dedicated to organising an exciting range of activities and events for village residents.
Activities & Events
All Qestral villages have an enthusiastic team of activities staff who create jam-packed activities and events schedules. Ashbury Heights will be no different, with cabarets, specialty evenings, movies, fitness classes, and more.
There will also be regular bus outings, walking groups, yoga and tai-chi classes, a Travel Club for interesting excursions… and the free TRILife Wellness Programme for residents seeking a healthy lifestyle. TRILife has been specifically designed by Qestral to enhance daily living by focusing on nutrition, exercise and state of mind.
Every village resident is supplied with a communication app, Kindly Communications, that is excellent for booking the wide range of activities organised by our full-time activities staff.
