With 55 events taking place
across Suffolk local people will have the opportunity to sail on a
keelboat, enjoy a ‘Last night of the Proms’ style concert, take the
family on a fun cycle treasure hunt or enjoy a showcase event for
disabled people to get involved in sport. They will be able
to try petanque, bowls, circus skills,
canoeing, salsa dancing and even take part
in the Vegetable Games. They can watch street performers, street
theatre and draw, paint or photograph a moment in time.
Councillor Rosemary Clarke,
Suffolk County Council’s Portfolio Holder for Sport, Culture,
Diversity, Health and Wellbeing said, “With just two years to go
until the start of the Olympic and Paralympic
Games, Open Weekend is a wonderful opportunity for people and
communities to share in the excitement of the build up to the
Games. With over 25,000 people taking part in events across
the county, these countdown celebrations are all about activities that
happen close to home; a chance to see places in a new light and try
things they’ve never done before
Councillor Doreen Savage, Chair
of the Community Cohesion and Inclusion Delivery Partnership said,
“Open Weekend has provided the opportunity for communities and
organisations across the county to come up with some wonderful
creative ways to bring people together. The range of events
means there will be something to suit everyone across the county
during the weekend”.
