Here is a list of the Laughter Clubs we know about.
- If you run a Club that is open to the public please notify us of the details and we will be very happy to list it.
- If you cannot find a Club in your area, why not attend a Leader Training workshop and start your own?
- Club names in brackets () are currently in recess. Regular sessions have been suspended but feel free to contact leaders and encourage them to start again – to meet up for a laugh, to arrange a session or to ask about one-off sessions.
- Most clubs will run throughout the year, except for a short break over Summer. We recommend you check beforehand during Summer and Public holidays.
