Kirsty Dixon, Football Development Officer (Women & Girls), said: "We are so pleased to be delivering these festivals! We know how important Walking Football is across Lincolnshire and feel these festivals are an opportunity for everyone to get involved. 

With a summer of an exciting international tournament we wanted to provide this opportunity for all be involved in our own fun festival. Along with being involved in exciting match play we have also chosen to have a focus on health and wellbeing. We will have a number of local organisations attending to help promote and share guidance on different aspects of leading a healthy lifestyle."
