Ashby Sport Fun Day is returning this summer after a successful launch event 12 months ago.

This year, there will be even more attractions for the FREE event at the Bath Grounds on June 26 (10-5pm).

The event is a chance for all sports to get together in Ashby and showcase what they have to offer to the community.

It is a day which aims to celebrate the diversity and opportunity presented by the many sports clubs in the town.

Last year was well attended and organisers are hoping for even more success in 2022.

Ashby Sport has 27 clubs actively taking part in the event with activities ranging from Croquet to Zumba and Boxing to Running.
