The event is free to take part and whoever tops the leader board with the highest number of Keep-Uppy’s will be awarded a signed kit and football hamper. Roary the Tiger will also be roaming the mall, entertaining shoppers and providing a free meet and greet.

Maria Kamper, centre manager said: “We are committed to providing free and fun activities for all the family during the school holidays and with such a strong football following in Hull, I am confident we will see a great turnout.

“Anybody is welcome to take part regardless of age or ability and I would encourage everyone, especially those who have a bit of competitive side, to come and give it a go.”

The event will take place on Wednesday 31st May, at Tiger Leisure, between 12pm and 2pm.
