OBESITY is being tackled head on with a new Get Southampton Active Festival at Hoglands Park.
People can find out what sports are available around the city and where to play them. The event on Friday and Saturday for both adults and children will offer sample sessions of a mixture of activities from gentle exercise such as tai chi and health walks to more strenuous activities such as touch rugby and rowing.
Southampton's Physical Activity Alliance will be putting everyone to the test to see how active they are and how active they really should be. Ring 023 8083 3319 or log on to www.southampton.gov.uk for details.
