New sports festival set to break down barriers
These sporting events are part of Our Year – Wakefield District 2024, an inclusive year-long celebration of Wakefield district and an invitation to enjoy 366 days of culture, creativity, and connection for everyone, everywhere.
“We are looking forward to seeing people come together for our first Inclusive Sporting Festival, said Cllr Hannah Appleyard, Cabinet Member for Culture, Leisure and Sport.
Events will be happening at venues across the district all throughout September, with two action packed fun days, taking place on:
• Saturday 7 September, 11am – 2pm at Thornes Park Stadium
• Sunday 15 September, 10am – 1pm at Featherstone Sports Complex
The fun days will have a variety of sports taster sessions and demonstrations hosted by experts.
Those that attend can get their questions answered and find out more about how to get involved in sports and clubs on a regular basis.
Wakefield resident and sporting hero, Chris Kamara MBE, is set to attend the fun day in Featherstone on Sunday 15 September to get involved and show his support. Come along to cheer him on and say hello.
