Wave Leisure are offering a weekend of free taster activities and sessions for the whole family as part of the London 2012 Open Weekend supported by BP - a series of sporting and cultural events taking place across the UK which will see hundreds of thousands of people participating in events to celebrate the 'One Year to Go' countdown to the Olympic and Paralympic Games.

The weekend will see something on offer in Lewes, Newhaven, Peacehaven and Seaford. Activities will include synchronised swimming, martial arts, gymnastics, roller disco, swimming assessments and a traditional sports day.

With the support of BP, Premier Partner of the Cultural Olympiad and long-standing supporter of arts and culture in the UK, the London 2012 Open Weekend is now in its fourth year. Open Weekend 2011 follows the success of the past three previous years, in which over 2.4 million people across the UK unleashed their creativity across a series of sporting, art and cultural activities in celebration of the countdown to the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Wave Leisure joins hundreds of other Open Weekend challenges - ranging from an outdoor screening of The Tate Movie in Trafalgar Square to a celebration of Jamaican culture in the centre of Birmingham. Full listings, including your venue's events, can be found from 9 June 2011 at www.london2012.com/openweekend

Peter Crowley, Managing Director of Wave Leisure, said: "We are really excited to be able to offer this range of activities to celebrate one year to go to the Games. It is really important to us that we use this weekend to inspire people in the district to become more active, more often."

London 2012 Chair, Sebastian Coe, said: "For our fourth year Open Weekend is focused on celebrating the 'One Year to Go' countdown to the London 2012 Games and helping communities across the country experience the best of British sporting, artistic and cultural talents up close. I'd encourage people to get involved at a local event as part of this nationwide celebration; it will be an amazing event."
