Over 4500 people visited the Sport Ireland Campus in Blanchardstown on Saturday 24th September to experience over 40 different sports at the #Beactive Festival. Part of European Week of Sport 2022 which runs from the 23rd – 30th of September, the #Beactive Festival introduces people to the wide variety of sports that they may not have experienced before. The event provides opportunities for both adults and children of all ages and abilities to trial the world-class facilities at the Sport Ireland Campus and sample over many sports and activities that are showcased throughout the day, alongside well-known faces from Irish sport, and the chance to lift some of Ireland’s most famous silverware like Sam Maguire or the Triple Crown.
