There will be an opportunity to have a go at a selection of sports such as tennis, cycling and climbing, watch fun demonstrations by local providers and an opportunity to speak to coaches and volunteers about the activity programmes their organisations can offer.

There will also be other health and physical activity providers on hand to provide advice and information about opportunities for keeping fit and healthy whatever you’re age, along with the local jobshop from Armley Community Hub. 

The event will have appearances from Ronnie the Rhino. The first 150 attending the event will receive a free gift, there will also be an opportunity to enter a prize draw for a set of free Leeds United tickets.
