Bocholt Health Days
The Bocholt Health Days will take place from 5 to 12 July 2025.
Active together for better health
From 5 to 12 July 2025, the motto in Bocholt will once again be: "Bocholt - Bewegt - Gemeinsam!" This week is all about exercise, relaxation and healthy eating.
The second Bocholt Health Days invite all citizens of all ages to take part in a wide range of free activities - take part, try things out and find out more.
All offers are free of charge. However, prior registration is required for some activities.
The Bocholt Health Days are a joint initiative of Quartiersentwicklung Bocholt, whose aim is to support local people and sustainably strengthen social interaction and the quality of life in the neighbourhood, and the "teamw()rk programme for health and work".
