Unwrapping the Arena programme
Mon 16 Mar 2015
We’re thrilled to announce more details of our unwrapping the Arena programme.
From Friday 20 March, anyone can drop into the Arena* to visit the café and find out more about what’s on offer. The gym will be open to members and pay-as-you-go users (subject to an induction/familiarisation) from this date. Not a member yet? You still have time to sign up.
A highlight of the programme will be our FREE Open Weekend, taking place on 28-29 March between the hours of 10am and 4pm. During the open weekend our gym will be available to our memebers between 10am and 6pm. This will be a great opportunity for each and everyone to come along, have a tour, watch demonstrations and give certain activities a go. The weekend will be ‘a programme of two halves’ with the Saturday featuring a sporting exhibition programme and the Sunday featuring a cycling exhibition programme. See our Open Weekend event page for more details.
Read on for more details of the unwrap programme - bookings will be available at reception and over the phone (01332 640011) from Friday 20 March. We look forward to seeing you all at the Arena!
