THERE will be an opportunity to Zip Slide across Bradford's City Park later this year.

Participants will be raised up in a crane to a height of 45 metres and will then zip nearly 200 metres to the landing zone.

The event, which is coming to the city for the first time, has been organised by Age UK Bradford District.

All those taking part will pledge to raise a minimum of £70 for Age UK Bradford District through personal sponsorship/fundraising

The charity said it "can't wait" for the event, which will be held on Saturday, September 29, from 9am until 5pm.

Tickets go on sale on June 23, at 9am. Visit www.eventbrite.co.uk or search Age UK Bradford District on Facebook for more information.
