There will be a wide variety of different sport and physical activities taking place in the sports hall and swimming pool, and lots of other exciting activities like face-painting, arts & crafts and more.  

There will also be a marketplace area with stalls including Be Well (health checks) and Tameside Council (stop smoking advice) and many more. 

It’s free to attend, just turn up on the day.
