Residents are being invited to take part in a range of free exercise classes taking place in the borough from Monday 30 July to Saturday 4 August. Sports range from basketball to trampolining and are open to those of all ages. A special Play Day will take place on Wednesday 1 August emphasising children's right to play.

All sessions will take place at Monks Hill Sports Centre:

Those wishing to take part just need to turn up 15 minutes before each session, with the exception of Boogie Bounce which must be booked ahead, to complete a health questionnaire. Children under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult.

Councillor Steve Hollands, cabinet member for culture and sport, said: "Exercise should be fun, not a chore but nobody wants to risk signing up for a programme of fitness classes only to find after one or two sessions that it's not really for them, that is why these taster sessions are such a good idea."
