Sport Stars Gather For Sportfest
Some of Britain’s top athletes – including Rugby World Cup winner Martin Johnson, Ashes legend Andrew Strauss and former British number one Tim Henman – have come together to launch SportFest, a new summer festival combining sport, music and food.
SportFest, which will take place on 3rd and 4th August, is the brainchild of England rugby heroes Will Greenwood and Austin Healey.
The event takes place in the Wormsley Estate in Buckinghamshire, and will see kids of all ages get coaching from some of the greatest names in British sport.
Johnson, Henman, Strauss and a host of other athletes will deliver coaching to children throughout the weekend festival.
SportFest founder Will Greenwood said: ‘SportFest is an unmissable event for any family that loves sport, music and food. We want to inspire more youngsters to take up and enjoy sport and love it the way Austin and I do. What better way to do that than to have some of Britain’s best coaching them.’
‘SportFest is for every child regardless of ability so it doesn’t matter if your child is a future England captain or has never held a tennis racket. What better way to inspire them that to have people like Martin, Andrew and Tim alongside them.‘
His co-founder Austin Healey added: ‘We believe sport can enrich everyone’s lives and that children can learn so much by doing sport. SportFest will let them learn more about sports they love, discover new sports and most importantly have a bucket load of fun whilst they’re doing it.’
‘The Wormsley Estate is an incredible setting – this is the first time they’ve thrown open their doors for a weekend event – and I can’t wait to see thousands of families there, enjoying sport, music, food and some special time together.’
For the parents, there is food by Jamie Oliver’s Fabulous Feasts, camping or ‘glamping’, trail running, cricket matches and personal training sessions.
Tickets for the event are available from www.sport-fest.co.uk and include all coaching, camping and Saturday night supper and Sunday morning breakfast.
