Pop-ups hosted by a variety of health and wellbeing businesses will take place at different venues across the town, starting on Saturday, January 20.

Roger Lewin, owner of Knutsford Hearing Centre, said: “People often live with a loss of hearing for a long time.

“It can be a gradual thing that people are not particularly motivated to do anything about it.

“This is a good trigger.”

The centre on Princess Street is offering free 45-minute hearing health appointments all week from Monday, January 22.

A 10 per cent discount will also be available on noise and leisure solutions, such as snore and swim plugs, shooting plugs and bespoke earphones.

Roger said: “Hearing loss has a massive impact.

“Communication is everything.

“Socialising is very important to people.

“What leads to longest life is a good network of friends.”

Appointments must be booked in advance at info@knutsfordhearingcentre.co.uk

Throughout the week people will be able to book onto sessions on fitness, yoga, podiatry, life coaching, health checks and counselling.

A full programme is available from town centre businesses.

The event is being sponsored by Slater and Gordon Knutsford Family Law.
