Gearing up for the TAKEPART Festival – Saturday 22 to Sunday 7 July

We are gearing up for our TAKEPART festival where you can try out sports and activities for FREE across our city. 

The full programme of activities for TAKEPART festival of active living is available now.  

Running from Saturday 22 to Sunday 7 July, the festival is a chance for everyone to try out free sport, dance, exercise, and physical activity sessions across the city.  

More than 50 local groups are providing taster sessions for people of all ages and abilities across the city.  

There’s lots to choose from, and if you’re not sure what to try, the festival will kick off with a launch event running from 11am to 5pm on Saturday 22 June at The Level, with workshops, performances, and opportunities to speak to coaches and fitness experts. 

There will also be advice on being active, healthy eating, stopping smoking, and active travel with a quieter hour 11am to 12 noon for anyone who might find the day too loud or overwhelming.  

All the events and activities are free to join with something for all ages and abilities. 

Activities at the launch event are drop-in, but some others need to be booked in advance, so please check before turning up.
