Tewkesbury residents flocked in their thousands to the Count Me In! Festival this Bank Holiday weekend to take part in a whole host of fun activities.

The event included dance workshops, drawing with bikes, crazy bikes, treasure hunts, Tai Chi, face painting, a 50-mile guided bike ride, jogging sessions, bike coding, Nordic walking, pedal-powered scalextric, a Viking arena, rugby and squash demonstrations.

Everybody was happy to try out all of the activities and events – from crazy bikes to street dance workshops – it was a fabulous weekend which was thoroughly enjoyed by people of all ages.”
