Clubs around the region will be taking part in the Great British Tennis Weekend initiative on Saturday and Sunday.

Open days are being held at clubs around the country with free opportunities to play, in an effort to get more people playing the game.

Activities on offer will include cardio tennis, mini tennis, junior and adult coaching and freeplay, with all clubs providing equipment.

Eaton Park Tennis Club in Norwich will host activities on both days, with Lyng TC, Reepham TC, Taverham TC and East Anglia Tennis & Squash Club, in Norwich, involved on Saturday and Waterloo Park and Harford Park in Norwich taking part on Sunday.

Since beginning in 2013, thousands of tennis clubs have run Great British Tennis Weekend events, enticing hundreds of thousands of people to pick up a racket and give the game a try.
