    Back in the 1970s, It’s A Knockout was one of the most popular family game shows on TV - it was essentially a sports day for adults.

    Now, Harrogate Hospital and Community Charity (HHCC) is inviting friends, families and work colleagues to take part in its version in June.

    Teams of 10 entrants will battle it out on an It's a Knockout inflatable assault course at Harrogate Railway Athletic Football Club on Sunday, June 5.

    “HHCC are so excited to be able to host the Summer Extravaganza and bring people together once again.
    “We want to bolster community spirit by creating the opportunity for families, friends and colleagues to meet for a day of summer fun while supporting their local NHS at the same time."
