Wildfitness, the outdoor fitness group, has confirmed that it will bring its "wild philosophy" to the UK for the first time with the launch of a new destination on the Isle of Wight.

Currently operating in Kenya and Crete, the company will provide new UK-based, three-day Wild Weekend courses at Northcourt Manor near the village of Shorwell.

Devised by Ro and Netta Pakenham, Wild Weekends will include activities that take place at some of the Isle of Wight's most picturesque locations and skill sessions as the manor.

The weekend will include a practical workshop on natural movement and body perception; a Wild Mobility and breathing class; games on the beach; and a run on the island's downs.

A spokesperson for Wildfitness said: "The weekend break offers newcomers a taste of Wildfitness and immerses past clients back into wild living."
