Fancy footwork to kick off Edgbarrow's official reopening and summer fun day

Edgbarrow Sports Centre's grand reopening will kick off with a special visit from a well-known footballer on Sunday, August 1.

Ex-Chelsea and Leeds United striker Tore Andre Flo, will be making sure there are no own goals during the celebration, which marks the centre's re-launch after a fire late last year.

Mr Flo, who has also represented his native Norway in international matches, will be joined by the Deputy Mayor of Bracknell Forest Cllr Chris Turrell and the centre's mascot Foxy to celebrate its much earlier than anticipated reopening.

A summer fun day is also planned after the ribbon cutting, between 10am and 4pm, so families can enjoy everything the centre has to offer now that it's back to full strength. Free activities will include:

- gymnastics;
- bouncy castle and soft play;
- trampolining;
- archery;
- tennis;
- athletics and;
- badminton.

Plus a great prize raffle, garden games and a barbecue will be on offer.

There will also be the chance to sign up for some fantastic discounts and promotions on memberships and bookings, as well as finding out more about the benefits of becoming a member.

Cllr Turrell said: "I'm very much looking forward to helping Edgbarrow Sports Centre celebrate being fully open again. The fire caused real damage to the centre so I'm pleased that it has been able to open earlier than anticipated and I urge all families to come along on Sunday and try out all the free activities."
