Open Weekend is a series of exciting sporting, arts and cultural challenges taking place across the UK from Friday 23 to Sunday 25 July 2010.

With the fresh theme of ‘challenge yourself’, organisations will set public challenges at their events – allowing everyone across the UK to set a new personal best by trying something new or by taking an existing interest to the next level. 

Seb Coe said: ‘Open Weekend will lead the nation into the two-year countdown to the start of the London 2012 Games, with new personal bests being set right across the UK.

‘Open Weekend 2010 is another opportunity for thousands of people to join in with the London 2012 Games.’
