And there’s plenty of quirks for the inquisitive, too, with sling swings for exercise-minded parents, a mover’s class for the over-50s and insanity workouts taking place plus much more.

Around 4,000 packets of Propercorn popcorn are to be dished out with a £1,000 prize giveaway lined up.

Among the prizes are free trainers for a year from Alexandra Sports, a Fitbit courtesy of ViiSana and a Pompey VIP matchday experience.

Organiser, Luke Newton, said: ‘The whole community has come together to support the event.’

It is on from 9am to 5pm.
