Children from schools across Preston, South Ribble and Chorley enjoyed a sports and activities day at the University of Central Lancashire.

Held in UCLan’s Sports Centre, events included a traditional sports day, a creative dance production, target sports and more.

Andrew Hill, 9, from Harris Primary School in Preston, said: “I liked the archery and I love playing sport with my friends.

“The golf putters and chippers make it feel like it is real golf, and you can hit it high and far.”

The fun-filled day was hosted by Active Lancashire and SPAR. This region-wide event annually supports over 20,000 less active children, providing them with opportunities to engage.

Andy Clark, Schools Partnership Officer at Active Lancashire, said: “It really does bring home what the SPAR Lancashire School Games are all about when you so many young people at the summer finale enjoying physical activity while learning at the same time.

“Our cluster model of delivery this year has enabled us to reach even more children this year, especially those who do not regularly take part in physical activity. Our thanks go to SPAR and James Hall & Co. Ltd for their continued sponsorship and the efforts of our amazing School Games Organiser Network, without whom none of this would be achievable.”
