The free event, organised by Parkinson’s UK staff and volunteers, features Parkinson’s walking footballers from across the North West. It will be an opportunity for people of all ages and abilities, living locally with the condition to try walking football in a fun and social way.
Held on the popular rooftop pitch at Hotel Football in Old Trafford, the day will involve a series of fun walking football activities, drills and talks to give participants a flavour of playing the sport.
