Village Games

Is your village crying out for more to do - a new rounders club? a multi sport club for kids? a stretching class for older people? What about cycling group to get out at weekends? And would you like to see fun sports festivals, competitions and games for all to join in?

If the answer is yes, and you live in a Derbyshire village, the Village Games team could be just for you! We are always looking for new people and areas who want to get invovled, so please get in touch!

Village Games is an exciting, accessible and community-led project developing a series of events across rural Derbyshire.  It is here to help develop and support new and existing activities, clubs, competitions and festivals.  It is also looking to identify, recruit, train, develop and deploy coaches and volunteers.  The Village Games project will enhance community across the county, improving village identity and pride and encourage social interaction and the development of community spirit.

The Village Games Co-ordinator for Bolsover District is Laura Stephen, she is working closely with our sports development team to identify local villages and key contacts to develop activity across the District.
