Free summer sporting activities are set to brighten up Castle Quarter this August.

The Norwich hotspot plans to honour the Paris Olympics with an exciting programme of sports and games.

Visitors can join in on events ranging from hurdles, basketball, and footpool - an inventive mix of football and pool.

A surf simulator will also be available on August 15.

Castle Quarter's marketing and administration manager, Gemma Hyde, said: “To mark the Paris Olympics, we’re giving all our visitors the chance to join in and have a go at lots of different track and field events this August.

"Try something new and you might just discover a new sporting talent."

Participants can earn a gold medal by taking part in three different sessions, with a special draw to win an exciting day out at Castle Quarter, worth up to £250.

The fun-filled events are all set to take place at the centre's White Lion Square, on Thursdays during August, between 12pm and 4pm, with no booking required.
