Crown Hills Family Fun Festival
On Saturday 17th June from 10am – 2pm our family fun festival held in partnership with Diabetes’s UK took place at Crown Hills Community College. This family festival saw many of the sport and physical activity clubs offering free taster sessions and information on how to take part in the sport once the festival was over.
We had a wide range of sports available to try on the day including…
- Leicester Tigers – walking Rugby
- Leicester City FC – Walking football
- Leicester Archery academy – Archery
- Ride Leicester – Cycling and Balanceability
- Leicester Riders – Basketball
- Shires Golf Tour – Golf fun games
- British American Football Association – Flag Football
- The Community Boxing Gym – Boxercise
- Netball
- Skipping
- …and more!
We also had information and advice stalls offering guidance on how to lead a healthier life. Stall holders included...
- Diabetes’s UK
- Live Well
- Public Health – weight management and Oral health information
- …and more!
The festival was a unique one in that all organisations who took part had been offered the chance to run community sessions at Crown Hills following the event. This means that there will be a host of new community club offers following the event and those who do not take up the offer will still be able to signpost you to opportunities in the community that already run. This made the festival the perfect place to find a new sport to take part in!
