We hosted another successful Fitness Day at The Farmstead, to mark the start of 2026. Our regular Farmstead Class-makers introduced our eager residents to sample the classes, hosted every week at Linmere. We thank everyone who supported the event, especially our generous class markers hosting free sessions for residents to sample. This is the start, however, to recruiting residents to join our classes and help us on our fitness journeys, throughout 2026. Check out the video below–if you joined us on the day, you look great and well done for coming! With a fantastic choice of classes on offer, we hope there’s at least one to get those trainers on and get down to The Farmstead, this week, to try out!

This year’s Summer in the Park drew a large crowd to Linmere Park on Saturday 10 August. Many residents and local neighbours joined us for 3 hours of fun-packed entertainment, with the weather staying dry (for once!).

On Friday 28 November 2025, the RT Hon Alex Mayer, MP for Dunstable and Leighton Buzzard, paid a visit to Linmere to view the progress on creating shared, green spaces and biodiversity on phases 1 and 3a. The visit was planned in support of Alex’s role as Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) for Woods and Trees, and her campaign work for stronger protections for ancient trees, tree planting and the use of natural features to improve flood management.
