A CELEBRATION of the world of sport will be held in Riseley later this month.

Wellington Country Park will be holding a weekend of events aimed at letting visitors try different activities.

Reading FC will be offering a penalty shoot out in in speed cage. Coaches will be on hand to talk tactics, and football.

Riseley Tennis Club will offer taster sessions on the Wellington Park centre court, letting anyone inspired by Wimbledon have a go.

And skateboarding experts Tic Tac Skate School will erect some mini-skate ramps in the centre of the park.

Both children and adults can take part in the activities.
