We are Tai Chi at Hartshill
Our story
We found our great location at Hartshill in 2022. Prior to that we have been practising in various locations in the Nuneaton, Atherstone and Tamworth area. Hartshill Community Library is ideal as it is clean, spacious, well-lit and easy to travel to with good parking. Classes at Hartshill are led by Master Bob Weatherall with the help of his experienced students.
