Visitors and residents can explore Stevenage Old Town with the Summer of Sport Fun Fact Trail, which launches next week.

Coinciding with the Paris Olympics, the trail will be launched at Old Town Live on Saturday, August 3.

The event will kick off with a table tennis challenge outside the Old Town Food Centre and former Waitrose site.

More than 30 businesses are taking part in the trail, aiming to raise awareness of the products and services available on the High Street to new and existing customers.

Sporty prizes will be on offer for young people who successfully complete a minimum of 20 answers to questions on the entry form.

The answers can be discovered from posters in the windows of businesses taking part in the trail.
