It was a great success, with over 40 competitors from beginner to advanced level playing their music to the judges in the hope of winning cash prizes.
TakePart Festival
TakePart 2013 was a fantastic success with sports and activities taking place across the city for a fortnight. The event, the country’s largest annual sporting festival, ran from 22 June to 7 July.
Organised by the council’s Sports Development team, TakePart mixes high profile events and community-based ventures to offer something for everyone to enjoy.
Jan Sutherland, Sport and Physical Activity Manager for Brighton & Hove City Council, said: “We are proud to see the festival growing and participation higher than ever before. It’s always a buzz to see people coming together in ways which have such long lasting health benefits.”
The celebration linked local clubs and organisations to provide a huge range of taster sessions offering everything from athletics to Zumba. This year thousands of people citywide took part in TakePart and plans are already underway for 2014!
