Summer of Sport
We are celebrating a Summer of Sport with the annual Find Your Active Festival and a huge range of free and low-cost local sports and activities throughout the season.
This summer of sporting excellence inspires us to get active, and there are so many low-cost and no-cost activities across the borough for people of all ages and abilities.
Each week, for nine weeks, we will publish a timetable of activities available across the borough, to encourage local people to discover a new sport or hobby.
Find the timetable of activities for week one and week two to the right.
Find Your Active festival
The Summer of Sport concludes with the annual Find Your Active Festival, taking place on 21 September 2024. This year's theme is 'Celebrating Diversity and Empowering Wellbeing' as Basildon itself marks its 75th anniversary.
This unique event offers local people an opportunity to take part in free taster sessions of new sports and activities - supported by community groups and teams based in the borough. Following two successful events, this year's festival will host a range of providers, including Essex Indians, Abula Games, Essex Pedal Power, Flex Youth Club, South Essex Gym, Kidz Busterz, Vita Minds and Yoga4All to name a few.
The event will take place at Basildon Sporting Village from 10am to 2pm. There's no need to book, just drop-in with your family and friends on the day!
