PEOPLE will be given the opportunity to try out more than 30 sports amid the stunning backdrop of Groombridge Place this summer.

At Sport 2006 each sport - from table tennis to fencing, judo to orienteering, athletics to scuba diving - will have a dedicated purpose-built area where adults and children can take part in a safe and professional environment.

There will also be an opportunity to enter organised competitions.

To entertain and inspire there will be demonstrations in the main arena from some of the best sports people in their field. There are also four competitive events to enter, including a 5km run, a 5km walk, a 32.5km sprint duathlon and a 20km cycle time trial.

The event takes place over the weekend of August 19 - 20.

Ticket prices are £15 per adult, £12.50 for a child and £50 for a family of four.
