Bridlington will begin the one week countdown to the London 2012 Olympic Games on Sunday, 22 July with the Beach Sports Festival.

The event will take place on Bridlington South Beach, below the Park and Ride, from 11am-4pm.

Inspired by the London 2012 Games, the day will have a number of activities to watch, including a beach soccer tournament, beach cricket tournament, beach rugby, beach netball and beach volleyball competitions and 3 v 3 all nations street basketball.

There will also be a number of activities to get involved with, such as ladies Back 2 Netball, delivered by England Netball, Tri Golf, an innovative golf course delivered by Flamborough Golf Club, beach boules, beach soccer penalty shoot out and a mobile skate park.

Councillor Richard Burton, cabinet portfolio holder for civic wellbeing and culture at East Riding of Yorkshire Council, said: "This will be a great day of sporting activity and, with London 2012 only weeks away, we hope people will come down and join in the fun.

"Last year's festival was fantastic with the sun shining and plenty of people on the beach enjoying the various activities and we hope this year will be even bigger and better.

"The festival is open to anyone who fancies a day out at the beach with their family or friends to watch the festival unfold or even join in."
