Ahmadiyya Muslim Communities UK, which runs the festival, said that the event would help encourage young people to participate in educational and sporting activities.

An application to relocate a youth festival hosted by a Muslim community group in Tilford has been turned down at a council meeting.
The festival has been running on an annual basis for 30 years at Islamabad, in Sheephatch Lane, but the proposal was rejected on Wednesday (August 30) at an area planning meeting.
The current site is being completely revamped and it was proposed to Waverley Borough Council that the festival relocates to a field in the south side of Grange Road on a one-off basis.
Ahmadiyya Muslim Communities UK needed to submit the proposal for approval as the site falls on green belt land and is a protected location.
In the submitted report, officers said that the temporary nature and short-term impact of the festival are special circumstances which could allow the land to be used.
