Derby will get the chance to try their hand at a huge range of free sports and activities when the new Give It A Go event comes to Alvaston Park on Saturday 25 July, running from 11am to 3pm.

The free, family-friendly event gives visitors the opportunity to have a go at a wide variety of activities taking place across the park, including Boccia, Tai Chi, Bollywood Dancing, netball, basketball and much more. This year's event will put a special spotlight on the park's new PlayZone facilities, alongside tennis and the many other sports groups and clubs based at Alvaston Park.

Adding extra star quality to the day, former Derby County player Martyn Waghorn will be joining the event for a meet and greet session, giving fans of all ages the chance to meet him in person.

Councillor Ndukwe Onuoha, Cabinet Member for Streetpride, Parks and Leisure said:
