This Mum Runs


Totally free Thornbury running group for mums “This Mum Runs” has launched regular local runs designed to empower women to get happier and healthier, as well as having a laugh and meeting other local parents.

Those interested should join the “This Mum Runs Bristol” Facebook group and search for details of the Thornbury runs, as well as joining the locally-focused “Thornbury Mums Running Chat” Facebook group.

We meet on Wednesday evenings at 7.30pm and Sunday mornings at 8am on the little grassy hill opposite the Tesco petrol station, lead a warm up and cool down, and run at a very friendly chatty pace, with lots of “looping” so the whole group stays together and no-one gets left behind. It’s ideal for people who haven’t run for a while, or who have perhaps done the Couch to 5K programme but need the motivation to keep it going!

Our ladies' league matches usually take place on a Saturday between September and April. We also play in a summer league from May to July.

Please come along and join in a training session to see if you would like to give it a try. We welcome budding hockey players, whether you’re looking for fun and fitness or more competitive match play.

Pop down and play some hockey in an informal and friendly atmosphere, it is a great way of meeting people, improving your fitness and having a laugh. If you haven’t played since school, or ever played at all, it really doesn’t matter. Do not worry if you are nervous about picking up a stick again, cannot remember or don’t know any of the rules. We promise it is nothing like the old school days of muddy pitches and standing around waiting for a touch of the ball. And it’s free.

Thornbury Town FC


The club runs two adult teams and a youth section running from U6 to U18 and caters for both male and female teams. The exact date of the formation of a football club in Thornbury is uncertain, but it is known that football was being played in the town in 1896 and that there was a Thornbury Town Club in 1898. The youth section was originally formed in 1990 as a separate club (Thornbury Falcons) and ran in this capacity for many successful years covering teams for boys and girls up to U16. In 2010 the two clubs merged to form a new Thornbury Town FC while retaining adult and junior sections (up to U18).
