Yoga sessions and meditation practices will also be available for those looking to find their inner peace.

A spokesperson for the event said: "Make Bold Choices - FTB Fest was founded by Lauren-Nicole and Aaron Sharples, two northern, working-class individuals with a passion for breaking boundaries, inspiring courageous living and a relentless pursuit to inspire others to break the mould. 

"Fitness and wellbeing is at the heart of who they are, built from core beliefs that both of the above should be inclusive and accessible to all. 

"Lauren’s background lies in the creative arts. 

"Both a successful actress and writer for television and theatre, Lauren champions the voices and narratives that are often underrepresented. 

"Aaron Sharples is both a sports and running ambassador. 

"Having spent his formative years in the army, Aaron went on to pursue a lifestyle that put his mental health and wellbeing first."
