City of York Council will be hosting the sport and activities Just 30 Fair at Rowntree Park on Saturday 15 September, starting at 12noon to 5pm.

It’s a really exciting time for sport in our country, and is a wonderful chance for people who have been inspired by the Olympics to try something new for free!”
