There will also be a prize for the best fancy dress themed on sports, St Patrick’s Day or Commonwealth Day.

“Sport Relief is a great cause and I hope that lots of Rotherham families are inspired to come along and get involved in this fun event,” said Cllr Taiba Yasseen, the council’s cabinet member for neighbourhood working and cultural services.

“There will be something for all ages and abilities to sample on the day – and it’s all free of charge. If there is something you have always fancied trying but never got round to it, now is your chance.”  

For the more competitive, there will be challenges including penalty shoot outs, speed skipping and target golf, with medals up for grabs in each event.
