I think our local one is timed so they can go for a fry up afterwards.
Lots of local stuff in our area, from free tea and coffee mornings to Zumba, yoga and over 50s keep fit,, I stick to embroidery, and other crafts but I will be joining the gardening group at the community garden when the weather improves. Mostly in raised beds. To think I used to cope with a large allotment I can't get down to plant or weed now but it was great exercise.
