The event in Hemsby on Friday (September 11) is open to all ages and abilities with activities ranging from circuits, tyre-pull, ropes, and yoga in two, 45 minute sessions at 5.30pm and 6.30pm.

James Bensly, a borough councillor who is open about his own mental health issues, said the fundraiser for MIND was being staged by the village Co-op store and the Richardsons holiday park.

It will take place on holiday park land towards the bottom of Beach Road and see Andrew Leban and his team of instructors putting participants through their paces.

Sessions are limited to around 45 people and a donation of around £5 is suggested.

There is no need to book, and there is an option to go inside if the weather turns.

Mr Bensly said the event was Covid-safe and could be rolled out more regularly to visitors and locals if it proves a success.
