British Blind Sport is hosting a free multi-sport Have a Go Day in Gloucester for blind and partially sighted people aged 5 and above. The event will feature a fantastic line up of sporting activities for participants to enjoy alongside their family and friends.
On the day visitors can try out a range of sports – including athletics, cricket, baseball and more.
Vicky Cook, Participation Officer at British Blind Sport, said: "Our taster sessions have a crucial role to play in overcoming the common misconception among those with sight loss that sport and exercise isn't for them – either because they aren't aware of what's available in their area, have a lack of confidence, or due to other barriers such as cost and transport.
"The activities we will be offering on 19th October will showcase how existing sports have been adapted for those with sight loss.
"We are excited to be hosting a Have a Go Day in Gloucester, giving the almost 25,000 people living with sight loss in the county the opportunity to try out different sports and hopefully discover a new passion or hobby."
