One of the festival highlights, the free Try a Sport Day on 5 March will give aspiring athletes the opportunity to get out on the pitch and watch or try a variety of sports without any cost or commitment.
The festival will celebrate International Women’s Day on 8 March with a night of music from award-winning musician, broadcaster, actor, speaker, entrepreneur and author Clare Bowditch alongside special guest Georgie Winchester.
