Teams are being sought for a town's annual 'It's a Knockout' style fun day.

Red Balloon Family Foundation and Loughton Town Council will host the event on Jessel Green in Debden on July 19.

The fun day will see 24 teams of ten compete to win the challenge, which is currently looking for three more teams of ten to sign up.

Teams fundraising for a charity or groups of teenagers aged 13 to 18-years-old can sign up for the event for free.

Families will be entertained by a free soft play area, bouncy castles, zorbing, inflatable challenges, a barbeque and a visit from birds of prey from the Epping Forest Hawk and Owl Sanctuary.

John, licensee at the Cottage Loaf pub, who is helping to sponsor this year’s event, will be running a barbeque.   

Residents can sign up for the challenge by calling 0208 508 4200.

The event will take place between 11am and 4pm.
