Test your mettle at this year’s Big Sports! – www.watford.gov.uk

Big Sports back in 2019

On your marks… get set… go!

Watford Borough Council’s Big Sports will return to the town this September, putting residents through their paces in a series of fun, challenging activities.

This free event will be held on the Town Center Event Space by the pond (WD17 1NA), between 11am and 5pm on Saturday 3 September 2022, and will feature a whole host of sporting and fitness activities, as well as health and wellbeing stands on hand to offer advice to visitors.

The sporting activities will include Hungry Hippos, 10-Player Battleship, 3G Gyroscope and more. There will also be stands run by organizations dedicated to fitness – including Everyone Active Gym, Herts Bike Course, YMCA Gymnastics, Watford Football Club, Fullerians RFC Women’s & Girls Rugby and Watford Rugby Club – and many more.

Big Sports is part of Watford Borough Council’s Big Events Program – a series of sensational summer events for residents and non-residents alike that are mostly free of charge. There’s something for everyone, whether you’re looking to soak up the sun on Watford’s very own Big Beach, indulge in cinematic masterpieces at the Big Screen, or wave your rainbow flag at this year’s Herts Pride!

Elected Mayor of Watford, Peter Taylor, said, “There’s no better way to spend a sunny Saturday than by putting your physical skills to the test at this year’s Big Sports! Whatever your age or ability, there’s something for everyone to get involved with – so don’t miss out. I am really pleased that we are able to provide a range of free events for everyone in our town to enjoy and I look forward to seeing as many of you as possible at the Town Center Event Space!”
