Disability Sports Festival

The Disability Sport Focus Group in partnership with Cambridge City Council and South Cambridgeshire District Council Sports Development Services organises the annual Disability Sports Festival.

The 2006 event took place on Sunday 14th May at Sawston Sports Centre, and was covered in an ITV News report which you can watch by pressing Play in the video window.

The event provided opportunities for adults and children with disabilities, and family and friends to try various sports and activities including archery, golf, kite buggying, rollerblading, rowing, canoeing, climbing, and trampolining amongst many others.
