The event, which will run from 10am – 4pm in the Main Hall at the Arena, is supported by Belfast Harbour Commission & Comic Relief and is an opportunity for young people (5-17yr olds) with physical/mobility disabilities to come along and try out a range of sports: Tennis, Climbing, Wheelchair Rugby, Hand Cycling, Powerchair Football, CP Football, Archery, Boxing, Wheelchair Basketball, Badminton & Boccia, so it’ll be an action packed day.

“We have places available for 40-50 participants and they can try out 1 or 2 sports or all 10 on offer, so it’s a great opportunity to have some fun, learn new skills, meet new friends and see which sports you really enjoy” said Aubrey Bingham, Senior Development Officer from Disability Sport NI.
