Essex Sport Family Open Day

Essex Sport is hosting its first ever free family day on Saturday 5 January.

Bring your family and friends to enjoy taster sessions and a range of activities in the Essex Arena and the refurbished gym at the University of Essex Campus in Colchester between 10am and 3pm.

There are special sessions for children aged from three upwards, including basketball, futsal and karate, and drop-in activities for adults, including walking netball, Cycle Fit and Zumba. There are also plenty of activities to enjoy as a family, such as Yoga, tennis and the climbing wall.

Director of Sport, Dave Parry, said: “This family day celebrates a successful first year for the Essex Arena. We have been delighted to welcome local groups and national sport teams including Essex Leopards who now see the Arena as their home.

“We want to share our story with the local community and everyone is welcome to come along and enjoy the free activities.”
