The event will offer an exciting programme of more than 40 different sports activities and therapies, as well as a wide range of have-a-go sessions and competitions that will promote clubs and the diverse range of recreational opportunities available locally.

OCRA Activity Development manager, Stuart Lord, said: 'In 2009 over 1,600 people participated in all the different events — this year we are looking to attract even more.'

Everyone is welcome to come along to the event, which will run from Saturday, July 10 to Sunday, July 18.
