Community Groups & Clubs at The Steading
The Steading is home to a wide variety of groups and clubs designed, organised, and delivered by Rosewell Development Trust and our team. We run an active programme aimed at bringing people together and supporting the community, including creative workshops, social meet-ups, fitness classes and children’s activities.
All sessions and clubs listed below are managed in-house by our staff and volunteers. For other classes and sessions delivered by external organisers – such as yoga, dance, or fitness, please refer to our What’s On Calendar for the full schedule of events hosted at The Steading.
