FREE fitness taster sessions are on offer at Wellington Sports Centre this coming Sunday as the centre celebrates its 40th anniversary.

The centre is offering a series of taster sessions for all the family and a 12-hour marathon of fitness classes, free of charge.

This weekend marks 40 years since the centre was opened by Sir Roger Bannister, who famously ran the first mile in under four minutes.

The list of taster sessions ranges from activities like trampolining and fencing to junior judo and Bumbles fun soft play.

For the 12 hour fitness marathon, there's something for everyone, from fitball and pilates to box fit and body pump. If you're feeling particularly brave, you can even have a go at a family line dancing session.

Activities for children throughout the day include football, Tae kwon do and a bouncy castle. The Tone Trampoline Club will be taking part in a sponsored bounce to raise money for a local charity and local people can swim in the pool between 10am-12noon for a special rate of £1.

Advance booking is recommended. Ring 01823 663010.
